From what I read, it will only be slightly better than the PS3 in certain ways, and not as good in others (the PS3 main processor is faster, in spite of being over 4 years old). I'm really not trying to talk up sony (regulars here know I want them to go bankrupt)...but it is just a simple fact. Of course, it does not really matter...most games will still be written to run on the 360, and thus the other consoles will be left with low quality graphics that make them look just like the 360.
Mario KartWii still sells extremely well, I sold my used copy about a year ago for the same price as a new one.

AFAIK it's for two reasons:
1) Space - The XBox 360currently has a maximum of ~9GB of space per game, unless it ships on multiple DVDs.
2) The 360 SDK is easier for programmers to work with. As a result they make games using it and port them to the PS3; and the games look practically identical.
Before anyone gets on me for attacking the 360, I owned one from launch until it died at the end of 2009. And might own another in the future although I'll probably just wait for the next-gen console.
