But anyway, I totally agree with Damian on this, the games are what are important. I guess the sad thing is, if you're a gamer, you pretty much need to buy at least two of the systems.
The other interesting thing to see come out of all this is going to be the price point of next gen software. It's not like one system can undersell the other. My guess is to add another $10-20 on top of what we're paying now for the top tear games.

If they up the price of the games that much you'll see a drop in sales for the units or, you'll see them get hacked faster so users can copy the games to the hard drives. As it is I RARELY buy a new game for my Xbox simply because I can't afford them. If they go up any higher I won't even bother getting the new systems.
