Looks like Microsoft knew about the Xbox 360 problems. Sony denies its CEO's comments about PS3 pricing. ATi's RS485 AMD chipset is Socket M2 ready.

The chipset is called the RS485 and it supports one single graphic slot only. It's designed over a new reference motherboard as it has to accommodate new AMD DDR 2 CPUs. Those CPUs will bring a lot of memory and socket changes but they won't surface before sometime in Q2 next year. It's all done in order to support DDR 2 memory on AMD.
