EA's Rich Hilleman suggests that there are still more current-gen SKUs coming before the PS4 and Xbox 720...
Speaking at the Hot Chips conference at Stanford University, EA's Chief Creative Officer, Rich Hilleman has suggested that Sony and Microsoft have more hardware iterations in store for the PS3 and Xbox 360 before any next-gen machines launch.
"I expected we'll see a PlayStation 3.5 before we see a PlayStation 4 and an Xbox 560 before we see an Xbox 720," said Hilleman.
Put another way, Hilleman is indicating that the PS3 and Xbox 360 might go through hardware iterations in a similar manner to handheld consoles such as the PSP and DS, where the DSi and PSP Go exist as members of the same hardware generation but add functionality that previous models lacked.
There have already been rumours that Microsoft is working on a new Xbox 360 model that will launch alongside its motion sensing Natal technology. The alleged console will supposedly have Natal tech built-in to the existing Xbox 360 system.

but people have come to accept the rrod its been happening for years now unlike the yellow light of death thats not because of unreliable parts but due to a firmware update, is this an indication that sony had tried to overclock the ps3 and may have had a stable overclock but releasing a firmware update with the overclock included may have caused the trapped gas in the circuit boards.

Actually we can still complain about the RROD because the xbox has a 54 percent failure rate compared to the PS3's 14.7
OFF Topic: MAG will be pwnage

It's really a low failure rate when compared to Xbox's 45% failure rate in the earlier generations of systems.
A .5% deficiant rate is quite low and seems an acceptable rate for any product. It seems that if Sony can compensate these very few failures with replacement systems ect. then this would be a very small problem.
