Microsoft to increase Xbox 360 capabilities?

Speaking in San Francisco, Shane Kim, who discussed potential modifications to the firm's current games machine, said: "You're going to continue to see technical innovation. It might be additional capabilities to the current format - but honestly we haven't made those kind of decisions yet.
"As far as technical limitations? We're not seeing those. I think there's the potential for more multi-disc titles - we've already shipped a few of those already. But I don't think this is so drastic that people will start saying that Microsoft missed a trick with not using Blu-ray. I just don't believe that."
Kim also revealed that he expects the Xbox 360 to enjoy a seven-year shelf-life, lasting until 2012.
"We said from the beginning that we expect the Xbox 360 to have a long tail," Shane told CVG.
"Clearly we didn't do that with the original Xbox, which was a strategic decision we made. Admittedly, we don't have any experience doing this, but we're pretty confident 360 will have a long tail."
