I have a feeling the next generation of consoles will be MUCH cheaper. It's a shot in the dark, but if the Cell Chipset and multi-thread programming takes off, couldn't Sony just theoretically "double-up" on their current CPU? Hell like I said, it could be a shot in the dark, but could you imagine if the next Nintendo and MS consoles used Cell's :P
I have a feeling hard drives will be major players, Sony will probably include a blu-laser drive for BC, but by that time they'll be dirt cheap. MS and Nintendo are beyond my gasp of power and specs because they're not as predictable as a hardware manufacturer.
But I'd say Sony will stick to their 10 year plan, it seems to be working thus far, and they'll introduce the PS4 5 years into the PS3's life cycle.
From 0 to KICKASS in .stupid seconds.
