As long as SONY sticks with Blu-ray and Cell technology, they will be in the BEST position for their next console for the foreseeable future. As long as Blu-ray and Cell technology are still viable (and both technology were designes to do so), I can see SONY falling back on these technologies because it will become cheaper and easier to produce while developers will already be more familiar with the technology. Also, third party support remains as strong as ever on a SONY console given after everything the PS3 has been through while SONY themselves are really pushing their 1st and 2nd party efforts. What's really going to happen I dunno. But for SONY to be more competitive than ever for their next console is within reasonable probability.
Hackers are poor nerds who don't wash.
