R&D was started on the Phantom as well. its not where you start, its where you end up.

PS3/PSP sales are flat and MS is shelling out millions to fix damn near every 360 that has rolled off the assembly line. this means less money for R&D

On top of that, the law of diminished returns has hit the wall, there isnt much left graphically to improve. It is gonig to have to be about the games finally. the question is can gamers collectively maintain interest in a gaming platform for more than five years? they havent had to for the past 30 years.
