Wrong. Even the theoretical $399 nextgen xbox will be significantly more powerful. The Jaguar CPU is old and crap.

Not in terms of graphics which is the main point for these consoles for the majority. 

I think MS is going to do everything they can to move a lot of consoles in the beginning of this generation, possibly including losing a lot more money than Sony is willing/able to lose on those console sales.  They're clearly going all-in on services. The more people they can bring into the Xbox family, the more they can sell those services.  So, I would not be surprised at all to see them have a low price point, all digital machine that is significantly more powerful than X1X and a higher price point, massively powerful machine that includes disc drive and maybe a solid straight or hybrid drive for internal storage.  

Further, assuming the stuff we've heard about two SKUs is true, I fully expect Xbox to have both the lowest priced and the most powerful consoles on the market at the beginning of next gen.

Maybe we'll know more in a few hours.
