i think i will probably get a Ps3 and Revolution.. Don't know about Xbox Next . Just a little info for those that know or don't know.. (or if i make some mistakes please correct me this is all from memory)
Ps3 - I think little is known but it will run about 4 Cell processors i just read that 1 cell processor will run at 4.6ghz or maybe all 4 combined? It will also have Nvidia graphics processor i belive haven't read that it will be backwards compatable which would kill sony if it wasn't.
Xbox Next - I don't know much about this besides that it will be using Power PC processors i guess modified G5's and will have 4 of them inside it. They have talked about removing the harddrive and using some solid state memory for cheap. (Which solid state have limited read and writes making these go bad?) It will also be going with ATI for its graphics processor.
Nintendo Revolution. Honestly besides the post that Last Exile write i know nothing about this system. [i] I belive that i will use a PowerPC based processor again as it used in the GameCube and it will Use ATI as its graphics processor as it did in the Gamecube. I guess they said it will be backwards compatable with teh GameCube
Ok the rest is just brief information i have read. It can and probably is wrong since i skimmed over the whole report about Cell processing. So until i find the link to the site with the acutal info its just here in case you know something about it please add..
Ok now onto a different subject. I will find the link again but i read things about the Cell processor how it might actually change computing not only in home consoles but actually in PC's also. Because i read how sony could create a board to put into your PC and with software shifting the processing over to the Cell processor you could turn your computer into a Ps3 gaming machine possibly. Also motherboard manufacter's can put some Cell Processors which are going to be cheaper then regular processor and then can build a system with a slow x86 software but have processing shifted over to the Cell processor to get awesome performance making having to buy expensive processors from Intel or AMD obsolete. But thats if that will catch on or not. Again let me find that article.

If i have misread / wrong ideas from that article please correct me i read it when it first appeared and now everything was said outta memory and not actually reading it again..
Also things in Italic is all my person thoughts / opinions not facts.. So don't argue them.. just give what you think about them.
Also here is some links to that site posted about the cross binary stuff

And from reading i don't think they ahve actually released anything to do it.. So some condier it vaporware. like other things.
