While the "little inovation but way more power" killed the PS3 it seems to work really really well for Xbox. This is mostly thanks to Microsoft's advertising skills and LIVE.

Heck people were betting few months ago if PS3 will pass 360 this year or next one. Now many don't have balls to bet that PS3 will ever pass 360.

A more powerful Xbox being able to play 1080p games launched somewhere in 2010 with 100% backwards compatibility can only be win for Microsoft. Nintendo will probably won't suffer from this but Sony will sure won't be able to sell much more PS3s and I doubt that they will have a PS4 ready in 2010.

I'm currently a Wii only owner but it's almost sure that I will also buy Microsoft's next console.

 

 Ya, I think 100% backwards compatibility is key for the next xbox.  With stuff like XBLA and DLC (stuff like Rock band songs especially), people won't want to lose all their games and downloads.   People want to buy the new xbox, take it out of the box, spend 20 minutes transferring their HD contents, then log into live (with the same gamertag) and play a 720 game for an hour, then pop in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (360 version) and play with their friends who haven't upgraded and talk about the 720.
