Hmm this is what i expect from the big 3 next gen.
SONY :
-- Use a faster CELL processor(6.4ghz?) with 16 SPE's (1 for redundancy, 3 for SONY to use, 12 for devlopers to use.)
-- Use a new graphics card. Properly based off the GeForce 11/12 series ...
-- Lots more RAM. 1gb of CPU RAM, 2gb of Video RAM -minimum-
-- replace 2x BD drive with 16x BD drive.
-- 128gb SSD or 160gb+ HDD.
-- A more unified approach. eg. All games have Trophy support, custom soundtracks, etc.
Launch Price -- $349.
Microsoft:
-- Use a quad core set-up @ 4Ghz
-- 4gb of shared RAM + 64mb on videocard for AA/Lighting effects.
-- Standard HDD/ SSD (128gb/160gb+)
-- LIVE service becomes free.
-- Complete redesign to avoid people linking next-box to RROD.

Nintendo:
