It is also worth noting in microsofts favor that multi core computing has come along significantly just in the relatively short period the 360 has been out. Like some others have said it's not unlikely that the next system may include 8 cores or more. While the cell is a beast at ray tracing and operations like that most current quad cores could come close to matching it in overall perfomance.(not a rip on the cell it is a great concept, but very very specialized)
