Well I'm not surprised really. The PS3 is supposed to last a decade so Microsoft do the opposite :P It obviously wont be ready for years but I cant believe theyre already expecting people to hand over some more money so soon. Shouldnt they concentate on the 360?

Also random fact. Did you guys know they didnt call it the Xbox 2 because they didnt want it to seem "inferior" to the Playstation 3 XD

That doesn't mean they shouldn't do market/product research now. Most products are started instantly after the last one is finished. You can even attest the FF series to that(they even worked on FF9,10,11 all at the same time).

Yup, and the next one should be X-box 720 then:P

But then gamecompanies will really have truble. We have wii with old specs, PS3 with todays standard and x-box 720 with OMFGZOMG power! Unless Sony and Nintendo change their mind.
