No, I was saying that if they used the same strategy I expect them to use with their next generation console on the XBox 360 it would have had a less powerful CPU, GPU, less memory and so on ...
The success of the Wii has demonstrated that making games more accessable through lower pricing and a more user-friendly and intuitive interface is a more successful strategy than increasing processing power for the sake of increasing processing power. At the same time, Microsoft's existing strategy of staying close to the capabilities of a gaming PC at launch is a good strategy for gaining third party support from western developers, and the lowered emphasis from PC developers on pushing PC hardware also leads support to not needing to produce the most powerful system you can.
