But it's just a continuation of the cycle. Microsoft could say "Yeah, the Xbox kicks ass, so we're just gonna stick with that", but you can be damned sure Sony is still gonna release the PS3, with its upgraded hardware. Microsoft cannot, on it's best day, compete with Sony by doing that. No matter how good the Xbox looks now, it's going to be obsolete eventually. Technology doesn't stop when mankind has reached the pinnacle of "a pretty decent gaming system".
I really like my Saturn (the car. I'm making an analogy. A bad one.), and I bet most Saturn owners like their Saturns. But that doesn't mean Saturn is just gonna stop making cars. The Xbox is a nice system. MS can do a lot to make it an even nicer system. And people will buy it. Make Xbox 2, make a pile of money; Don't make Xbox 2, don't make that pile of money. That's a pretty simple decision to make.
