Which is exactly why Nintendo and MS have been working on their next console since this one was released (like ya didn't know...). They are just beefing up the specs as high as they can until an official launch date is announced, and then they will finalize everything in those last months and launch whatever they got. Well, that's my half arsed theory, which is of course WRONG, because that would be TORTURE for the system designers to be working like that "Hey, make sure at each and every stage it's capable of playing games" :D.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
