Just from comparing the stats from all the major consoles which can be found here .. I think that the Xbox will blow anything away..



I would hope so being the last console out. Later technology should outpreform the older. But better technology does not carry consoles, the games do. Only time will tell. And the Dreamcast is still being sold until the end of the year with some nice games comming out for it. Sega wanted to go software only a little while back, it looks like they decided to rush it a bit.
