...(i wrote this in another forum where they say PS3 can be done before the "right" 5 years)....
-----------------------------
One thing worry me...: XBox it\'s more simple to became XBox2 than Play2 to Play3.
I mean... if you take the original hw architecture of XBox... put in a P4 2Ghz, put in 512Mb of ram... well you have 50% of work done. You can use nVidia GeForce5 GPU and the XBox2 it\'s done.
(With 100% games compatibility... you know.. directX).
For PS3 maybe they must rewrite all the hw architecture. Bye bye old games etc.
Maybe they need to design a good new hw architecture ONE time and use it for new generation console.
--------------------------------
I know it\'s too early to speak XBox2 or PS3.... but don\'t you think it\'s more simple to get a new "anti" PS3 console in this way?
E-Motion engine seems to me very innovative and i\'m not so happy to think that new technology can not be powered for a PS3 for "marketing" policy.
what do you think?

There will not be an XBox2. They will relize the effort to get a couple of dollars from the XBox is not worth it.

I agree with BizioEE. Microsoft is here to stay nomatter how much money they lose IMO.

Ya on one hand X-box may lose a lot of money but what does bill gates care, its not a big enough loss to worry him, the only way i can see microsoft pulling out is if the X-box is such a disaster that its embassing on his part.
