I recently saw an interview with one of the guys who helped create the xbox and he said that because Sony has such a huge lead on xbox and gamecube that they probably will let xbox release their next generation console first sometime in 2004 and PS3 will come out in 2005. So I wouldn't get your hopes up too quickly. I think there would be alot of unhappy people if they just recently bought a PS2 and now they have to shell out an additional $300-$400 to go up to PS3. Sony really has no reason to rush on releasing this.
