When the next generation XBox is released it will be trivial to produce a system that is far more powerful than the PS3 at a very consumer friendly price ($200 or less); this is the beauty of semi-conductor technology. At the same if Microsoft produces a similarly advanced system (as the XBox 360 was upon release) it will be nealy impossible to produce graphics, AI and physics that were a noticeably improvement for a couple of years after its release. As a result the hardware differences between these two platforms will not be relevant.
Now, Microsoft is (and always has been) more of a services company than a software company, and the real advancements in the next generation XBox will likely be in the services it offers.
