What will be next-gen about the next-gen?

[gebx]

Sony's biggest screw up this generation was costing the system too high.

So here are my predictions

New console will not start at more then $499
New console will be using Blu Ray or HD DVD disks
Wireless remotes standard
Wifi standard

... basically a simple upgrade to all 3 consoles, better speed, more ram, bigger harddrive. Overall no ground breaking technologies, and Nintendo falls back to 3rd place (I don't think Nintendo can repeat what it did with the Wii with its next console)
