It's also a great debating and advertising option. Early reports have indicated the Xbox 2 chip is more advanced than the Playstation 3 chip.

Well PS3 has been in development for ages. Hell, the upgrade chips announced before DCs release are part of the plan. But I personally don't believe any of the reports. Xbox 2 might be shooting for higher goals, but in reality, how would either company really know what will be advanced 4 years from now? nVidia is currently working on the nv30. If they release that with Xbox 2, they'll be laughed at.
I wouldn't say Microsoft has more access to technology. Microsoft will be going to their trusted PC companies again, likely nVidia. Not saying much. Not like Sony or Nintendo can't go to PC companies for the newest and the greatest stuff. If Nintendo goes with ATI again, they got the same technology as nVidia. Don't know what Sony is doing, but I wouldn't say they have less access to the technology than MS.
But if Xbox 2 and PS3 come out in 2005. Guess who will be at E3 2005 showing off the best hardware? Nintendo. The one who comes out last will be the one advertising their graphics and amazing capability. If Xbox 2 comes out first, they can only brag until the next system is unveiled. Kind of like Sony no longer brags about looking too hot, but back at E3 with the Gran Turismo demo, boy did they think they were hot ****.

Sony is a generation behind Microsoft (hard drive, ethernet port, 4 controller ports)... by the time the PS3 has a hard drive and ethernet port standard Microsoft will have already moved on to something else on the Xbox 2. Xbox 2 will have everything standard that the Xbox has and more... you can quote me on that.

We can quote you on that because it's obvious. Sony isn't a generation behind. They won't add a HD and built-in ethernet, and release PS3. That's not how things work. The only reason ethernet isn't standard on other consoles is because less than half the people have it. Next generation you don't have that problem, it'll be standard. Hard drive will likely be standard, perhaps not one taken from your local CompUSA, but some form of mass-storage will be standard. From there each company will try to innovate. No one will be behind Microsoft here. Nintendo will add ethernet and a HD, then try to innovate. Sony will (hopefully) add 4 controller ports, ethernet, HD, and then try to innovate. Microsoft just tries to innovate.
