I kind of epected this. MS have more reason to launch sooner than Sony does.

And more ability to do so. They've been profitable with the 360 for many years now while the PS3 has only just began to make profits to work against the major losses from earlier on.

I am thinking the new Xbox will have somewhere along the lines of at least 2 GB DDR3 (probably 4), an ATI 5000 series comparable GPU, and a 6-8 core CPU. Support for current Kinects with the ability to support an upgraded Kinect in a few years.  USB 3.0 support as well as multi-band draft N wifi support. Full 3D and 1080p native support. Other than that I'm not sure what other cool surprises may be in store, those are just my basic guesses as it would allow for backwards compatibility and performance gains of 300-400% over current gen hardware.

You've just described the new xbox as a cheap PC......

Cheap? 6-8 core CPU's are still $200-600 a piece, an HD 6000 series (sorry meant 6000 earlier, not 5000) is $150-300, 4GB DDR3 isn't too bad.  If it ends up being cheap enough to produce and sell for $300-400 without taking a loss then all the better to them because it would still be a huge improvement over current gen PS3/360 hardware and way more capable than the rumored Cafe hardware as well.

well, I'm just saying that consoles in the future will need some kind of niche to sell well, I don't think building a cheap PC would make it the king of next gen.

Again, cheap? And this is just the innards. Obviously the new consoles will have their own added on features and services that I can't even begin to predict. That's why I said, "I'm not sure what other cool surprises may be in store" in my original reply.

MS is in a good place. They are making great profits, Sony is reeling, and Nintendo's new machine likely won't be more powerful than current HD consoles.

They should wait until 2013. They should sell around 80 million 360 units by then and they can probably still get an edge on PS4.

The power of Cafe thing is highly unlikely, just because Nintendo could so easily outclass them in terms of RAM alone that it own't be as big a deal

We'll have to wait and see. I presume Cafe will technicially superior in some aspects, maybe less in others.

Perhaps we'll see some ports perform better on Cafe.

We'll see, MS has never been one to surprise but more inline with refinement, which is what they are good at.
