Jumps in graphic tech aren't everything. The 360 was rushed to market and is much less powerful than it should have been.

It makes perfect sense for Microsoft to be upgrading in 2010, it'll be showing it's age even worse over this year, much less next.

The real question is, would Microsoft just drop the 360 immediately like they did with the Xbox, or would they treat it to a more gradual change-over.

The only reason the PS2 is still around is because of the colossal failure of the PS3 during its 1st year, the majority that get it are getting it to watch BDs, but game sales the bread and butter of the game industry is dismal at best, this may change but not anytime soon, where as the 360 games sales are in the top 10 every month. The Wii alone should tell you graphics are not everything, but the fun factor is they is important to gamers, not to say PQ is not important. The
look amazing, I have 2 and love to have people over to play on system link, I am not saying the PS3 is a bad system, it will just take some more time to really catch on like the PS2. I am of the opinion that more than one system is good for the market, and for the gamer.
