I bet you my Corvette C6 the others are already developing their next systems too.

I feel that they shouldnt have revealed it at this time until the other two do so or maybe at the same time.

Looks like they beat even M$ to it. On the other hand, the wii needs the upgrade the most.

Not necessarily. R & D costs $$$. Nintendo has that luxury and maybe M$ (if it doesn't come from the gaming division alone) but certainly not sony

The videogame companies start to research/develop the next hardware soon after they release a new one.
Is not fast to develop a hardware.
All 3 are doing it.

In order to properly complete the R&D necessary to create a console it usually takes several (as in 3 to 5) years for most companies ... This doesn't (necessarily) mean that they're looking at final hardware, but I suspect that they're dealing with their partners (Panasonic, AMD/ATi, and IBM) and looking at their semiconductor (and other hardware) road-maps and trying to plan the type of system they will produce.

It's surprising that people forget that the first news/rumors of the Cell processor actually started comming out at (roughly) the same time as the Gamecube/XBox were released ... Sony's (insane) early discussions about it was that the combination of high speed internet and highly parallel code would enable users to take advantage of the idle cycles of other PS3 owners consoles to produce amazing effects in game; the term Cell was used because it was supposed to represent a single cell in an organism.
