That has yet be confirmed. And if you want to avoid getting modded a troll, try avoiding inflammatory names like Xblob.

8-bit era - Nintendo - good
16-bit era - TurboGrafx16 - no good
32-bit era - 3D0 - no good
64-bit era - Jaguar - no good
128-bit era - Dreamcast - no good
Future era - Xbox360 - ???
Notice, systems that release into an older bit usually are a success. Like PS2 released as 32-bit later.

Anyway, it's all just a marketing thing. Sony just want people to delay their Xbox360 purchase until PS3 is out. Personally, I'll buy both systems :)

For at least one year, many XBox360 games will seem to be XBox games ported to the new video and sound capabilities. If Sony follows suit, we may be looking at just game demos for 6 months.

For them, just getting your to stop for a second and consider maybe waiting for the PS3, compairing the 2 systems and *then* deciding which one to get will be enough for them...
Then again... maybe they have a supprise for us
