You have to remember though that gamers don't care what a system will be doing in a years time, they want the best games now, so they'll go for which ever platform is performing best at the time, and right now it's the 360.
Going back to the Sega saturn, that had a major upgrade in the supporting programming libraries around a year after it's release, which meant much better looking graphics in games such as sega rally, virtua fighter 2, nights into dreams and burning rangers. The problem though was that the playstation had already taken hold of the market, so no one cared about the saturn anymore. If the saturn had these libraries right from the start, the story may have turned out rather differently. Maybe people will say the same about the PS3 and 360 in a few years time.
