By waiting another year, PS3 is rumored to be even better than XBOX 360. Interestingly enough, ATI shares jumped 7% today on the X360's release. Don't these guys read the internet?

Yeah that's the rumour and has been. It should be more powerful if given an extra year to tweak (like the X-box vs PS2...which when it comes to gaming power is an absolute slaughter).
That said there seems to be a few "experts" who are getting sneak peeks at these consoles that the PS3 has a lot of power but that power isn't being harnessed for gameplay properly or efficiently. They think the power thing is in the end going to be quite close. In the end it is the games that matter and with the headstart, if Microsoft puts together an impressive array of launch software it may determine who comes out ahead.
It really isn't dependent on the machine performance when they are both going to perform very well it is going to come from software and on-line play. I'd imagine that X-box keeps the advantage in online play for a good while. Can they get an advantage with games?
What I like is that X-Box 360 is going to allow atleast some portion of online gameplay for free. You won't get all the bells and whistles but you shouldn't have to pay unless you want to be a hardcore online gamer.
