It'll be good but as always Sony will deliver a good system and haven't said much about the PS3 so, we will see

X-box next - 2(maybe 6 according to some unofficial rumors) 64-bit processors at 3 Ghz TOTAL(btw these are actually modified MACINTOSH PowerPC Processors)
PS3 - 4 128[or possibly 256(still undecided)]-bit processors at 4Ghz EACH

X-box Next - most likely a modified form of DDR2 operating at an effective clock speed of 800-1000Mhz
PS3 - Rambus "Yellowstone" and "Redwood" Modules operating at at least 3200Mhz
Microsoft will need 3-4 times as much memory ot compete

X-box Next -An ATI Chip Very likely at the R500/R550 level
PS3 - NVidia custom processor approx. 2-3 times faster than GeForce 6800 OC
From What we've seen from ATI and NVidia recently these gpu's will be roughly equal on all levels that matter.

X-Box Next - HD-DVD Single Layer(15GB) - Hard Drive Optional
PS3 - Blu-Ray SL(25GB) - Hard Drive Likely to be Built-In
The next-gen formats are designed to provide higher storage capcity than DVDs.(4.7 GB single layer and 8.5 DL)
Single-layer HD-DVD discs are able to hold around 15Gb with the dual layer version holding around 30Gb. Single-layer Blu-Ray discs are able to hold around 25Gb with the dual layer version holding around 50Gb.
money-man said:It is all too apparent that the PS3 trumps the x-box next at every turn. The Only level ground is with their GPU's but w/out the x-box next's specs being up to par; PS3 will take the lead there too.
money_man said:ok seriously people this is my problem. XBOX's are just like computers. IF YOU WANT A COMPUTER BUY A COMPUTER!!! if you want a console which is what the xbox claims to be then you want a PS3 or something else.
money_man said:yes they probably will cost a little bit but microsoft wont care because tehy have no competition for another year. IMO consoles should'nt be able to store music, only game related files. they shouldnt have 20gb hd's because how many games are you gunna play before you fill that up? XBOX jsut seems like it can do some bragging because of HD. the way i see it when consoles start becoming computers and have better technology like the 48 pipelines alvino pointed out why not just stick with computers? instead of buying the consoles or why nopt make computers obsolete and use consoles. consoles should never advance higher than computers
