Rock n' Roll Doggie FOB
True that they have played songs more recently that have not been played for numerous tours. This is a good thing.
But it is equally possible that "New York" might be considered like what The Edge said of "Last Night on Earth" on page 266 of "U2 by U2".
"Last Night On Earth had more of a band aesthetic. It was a good tune but is it up there with News Years Day or Sunday Bloody Sunday? Obviously not or we'd still be playing it live".
Although, I'd like to see them play Last Night On Earth again. But I will let that be a big surprise if it happens. Otherwise, not getting my hopes up.
And New York (Live) was always cool but there are probably songs that might fit better into the aesthetic of the U2:360 show.

The 360 and Vertigo Tours are indications where that theory is invalid.
360 Tour:
Electrical Storm - Live premiere
Stay - Not played on Vertigo Tour
The Unforgettable Fire - Did not appear in the last four tours
Ultraviolet - Did not appear in the last three tours
Vertigo Tour:
Miss Sarajevo - Aside from the one performance on PopMart, this was virtually a live premiere
Electric Co - Not played since Joshua Tree Tour
Zoo Station - Not played since ZooTV Tour
Running To Stand Still - Not played since ZooTV Tour
The First Time - Never played live till Vertigo
And that is just to name a few.
So just because New York didn't appear on the Vertigo Tour, does not mean it will not appear on the 360 Tour.
