Xbox 360 the next generation Dreamcast?

Lately, after the release of the 360 i have been hesitant on wither it was where my money should go or if i should save up for the Wii or the PS3. I know that the Nintendo might not be the best way to go but the PS3 has a nice rack of a price tag which kinda outgoes my normal budget for a console. I fear that although the 360 is new, nice and the first next-gen out i can still hear a faint voice in my head whenever i grab a 360 box that tells me "Dreamcast 360...Dreamcast 360...PS will rise again..." and out of fear i put down the box almost that instant. Now i am not saying that the 360 is not worth the buy, i mean hell, i want to play PDZ, PGR and GRAW as much as the next guy but i just don't want to spend a large amount of money on the 360 and then it gets destroyed by the PS3 when it makes its debut Q4.

Can someone give me some advice wither their inner gamer has been telling them the same thing?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

And comparing it to the Dreamcast is laughable at this point. No relevant similarities whatsoever.

Besides the fact that the Sega Dreamcast did the same thing Xbox 360 is doing right now? I mean, Dreamcast failed because it realsed beofre it knew what it was going up aginst because Sega needed the money. What happened was that after it's release the PS2 came out and blew the Dreamcast out of the water because Sony knew what to expect from its compeditor and found a way to beat them. On the 360's part, if they don't act quickly or tap into some unknown hidden power source they are going to be shot down like the dreamcast was as soon as the PS3 comes out. I mean, looking at in-game graphics already for the PS3 looks better then 360 and so far, there haven't been much 'ooo and aww' about anything on the 360 beside the trailer for a new Halo which is probley going to be the only thing that might keep the 360 alive on the market once the PS3 and the Wii come out. If Nintendo starts beating Microsoft in sales then you KNOW something is wrong...lets hope it doesn't come to that...

There's nowhere I can't reach.
