Xbox Next will not be a console anymore. My take on Microsoft's Nextbox.

I predict the hardware will be an 8 core Jaguar with half reserved at least initially for the OS/Kinect (Jaguar isn't designed like server chips so the two quad cores will be separate) with 8GB of RAM (5GB games, 3GB OS + Apps + Kinect libraries) 

No chance

I wish people stop overestimating Kinect/OS/Apps etc

Xbox 360s are used as much for movies and apps as they are for games if not more. They are important even if they aren't important to you. Microsoft has spent considerable effort in developing Kinect, and the Xbox 360 OS including the many apps which they have released thus far, if anything it points to their importance as they wouldn't be pushing them as hard if they weren't effective and it points to how they will be even more important in the next generation with a console designed to take advantage of them rather than jury rigged obsolete hardware.
