well--the next question is this....
I have a psp, ps2 and an xbox. I only play sports games most of which are available on both systems. When, where and how do I go about dumping systems--obviously the psp is a keeper. Right now using the xbox for mvp, forza, we8. PS2 only for madden, hot shots golf 4.
PS2 is a launch system but seems to be in great shape.
Unfort Xbox live is not an issue as there is no hihh speed internet option in my neck of the woods.
I should probably wait until more info is known about the next gen systems before picking one instead of picking up both at launch as the temptation will be.

I'm not ready to give up my XBOX yet

I would like it to be backwards compatible, but whether it is or isn't will not impact my buying decision in any way. I have already preordered a 360 and paid $50 down and will continue to pay on it for the next few months.
While backwards compatibility is nice in theory, I have never put one PS1 disc in my PS2. Just because a new system comes out there's no reason to immediately run out and trade or sell the older system. I still have 2 PS1s and I imagine I'll still have both my Xboxs after the 360 comes out.
I do agree with the article when it says people tend to only play games designed for that certain system so I would guess that instead of playing Ghost Recon 2 on the 360, everyone will be playing Ghost Recon 3. While I agree that the Xbox has a lot of life left in it, people's mindsets change when a new system comes out. I have about 40 PS1 games in my library, games that I thought I would always play again...but once the PS2 came out, I haven't played a single PS1 game. Makes me wonder what's going to happen to my 120 or so Xbox games.
