Even though Microsoft is gearing up to support the launch of its next console, the Xbox One, on November 22, the company plans to support the established Xbox 360 console for at least another three years.

Speaking at the Citi Global Technology Conference, Xbox chief marketing and strategy officer Yusuf Mehdi confirmed the three year plan. He went on to call the Xbox 360 "incredibly profitable in the tall" which, translated from business speak, means "it's making impossible to believe amounts of money late in its life."

The Xbox 360 will celebrate its eighth birthday in November. Outside of the Xbox 360 S remodel introduced in in 2010, Microsoft has expanded upon its Xbox 360 business with a subsidized console. Just last week, Microsoft converted its Xbox 360 funny money MS Points over to real-world currency.

That makes sense. Some people don't go over to newer consoles until at least a few years have gone.

Agreed. I think the Xbox One is gonna sell like the Wii U did... Very poorly.

And since Microsoft don't have a highly successful handheld to hold them up, the can use the 360.

That and developers don't move over quickly as well.
