I find myself disagreeing with 1.2 and 1.3. It is a fact that the PS3 is quite pricy, but I can't see Microsoft being able to price a new console with as many theoritical upgrades and new technology at a price no less than twice the current going rate for a decent 360 configuration.
As we have seen, it's MS policy to charge as much as they can for every and any upgrade they can design. Rechargable batteries, wireless adaptor, hard drive, online support, ect. It's a smart policy for people who feel it's fine to just throw money at an incompleted product if people are going to be dumb enough to do so.
A stop-gap console is as smart as the PSP-Go; you're not providing anything new, just giving it the titles New and Improved (how can something be improved if it's new, or new if it's just an improvement?)
And given how many people have a 360 and how many people will be getting a 360 before the new one, there's not going to be a lot of room for people to buy this magical new 360, but rather get the next add-on at a high price.
