Does Microsoft need to release the nextbox 1 year before the competition?

[Serious_frusting]

i think they need to and most likely will, but i dont think sony are going to let them get such a big headstart next time but whats saying the devs are ready for next gen? i mean they are bleeding enough as is with the " small" user basis of the HD consoles. it would kill them to jump into the next gen to soon
