I think I finally understand why people say Xbox 1.5 ...for the first time Sony will finally have a HD, Good Graphics and Online Play...these are features that the Xbox had all along. So the Xbox to the 360 was not as big a leap as the PS2 will be making going to PS3.
But need I remind everyone that Sony has had a horrible online offering so far and no one should be giving them any credit for announcing an online service until we see them deliver the goods. Expectations are very high, now that they have a HD, supposed Online Play. If the PS3 cost more than the 360 people will be looking to get more all around. Better Graphics, better Online Experience etc. Many developers have already announced that the 360 will be their default development platform. Last generation the PS2 was the default development platform which totally sucked as it was by far the worst of all the platforms (Xbox, GameCube, PC).
It remains to be seen what developers can achieve on a PS3 that would set it apart from the 360. Sony would like as all to think that PS3's graphics will be far superior than 360, but that's going to come around and bite them in the ass when everyone realizes what developers already know and have been saying for months...that is that PS3 and 360 graphics and capabilities are pretty much on par with each other.
