Personally, I can't see much of a difference between the Xbox and X360's graphics. Anybody owning a 360 care to explain what was upgraded? I also heard that you need a HD TV to see a difference in the image.
As someone who works in the video game industry, your post almost made my head explode! Suffice it to say

No - Microsoft will not be making Xbox games next year, let alone in 10 years.

No - Sony does not still make PS1 games.

Yes - there are major upgrades between the 360 and the original Xbox. Aside from the major graphics improvements, processing power, memory, audio channels all have been dramtically improved.

As for the price? If you can buy the basic Xbox model for $104, why would you spend $175?
