in any case, i only really care about 2 or 3 elements when considering the next gen:
1) $$$ - I was a PS2 guy, but the cheaper 360 option made the jump easier to do , and one i have been satisfied with.
2) Game quality/enhancements - sounds like the actual quality will be the same ( don't play any games that are limited to a single console, and don't see much difference of a game between consoles like NHL).
3) this Always online garbage.

Ya this is me too, from the age to the PS1/2 to 360 jump. I've been toying with the idea of jumping back to PS next gen, but realistically as long as this new XBox platform seems fine, I'll probably stay just so I can play my 360 games on there when I feel like it without having to dig out the old system.
That said, if there's no backward capability, I'm probably PS bound.
EDIT: I just hope multi-player doesn't seem to be the main drive, I really don't give a crap about it. I've gamed it fairly regularly since I got my 360 five years ago, and I've still never even activated an XBox Live account.
