Can the nVidia FX 6x00 SLI produce anything close this level of graphics? OK lets say 80% of the details and 80% frame rate. If so then MS/ATI will have to produce a console with requirements within the next 12 months of:
2x FX 6x00+
Cost effective
Runs cooler
Smaller form factor (helps with the cost as well)
Harness the power of the hardware to its fullest potential (which is usually if not always done via coding to the metal) using XNA. Keep in mind the trade-off between efficiency vs easy-of-dev.
On top of all that beat everyone to market at this level of Real-Time graphics.
If they can pull it off, power to them and I'll get 2 consoles!! One to play, the other to admire.

True, Xbox 2 doesn't have the overhead of a PC, but it will be using a dev toolset from the PC world (XNA) with some level of middleware, right?
By the sound of things the Xbox to needs to be what ~3-4 times the 6800 or X800 to have decent performance.
To be fair, if the PS3 is at this level I'll be just as surprised. *keeping my expectations low*
