But people has got to kidding themselves when they say PS3 wont have the edge next gen in terms of processing power and graphical capabilities. The Xbox was released mor than a year later than Xbox with much more power under the hood compared to Xbox, and MS just want a head start next gen to emulate PS2's current success next gen.PS3 will be released projected fall 2006, which is 6-8 months later than XboxNExt, and  discarding fanboy glasses while scrutinising this matter, it is simple logic to say that PS3 will have the edge in terms of power.Thinking otherwise would show your biasness towards XboxNExt, since the similar scenario is present in current gen.

Really? The hardware was taped out virtually at the same time.
Horsepower differences? Minimal to the least.
Coding... we'll see OpenGL versus DirectX... it's a no-brainer that development studios (besides id, Raven, Human Head and Splash Damage) would love the latter over the former.
Only AAA titles will use the whole system's potential (previous gen: Burnout Revenge), but the launch titles of the PS3 in November wouldn't be as superior as the second generation of X360 titles, and you can expect that to come until 1/2-1 more year of devtime.

There's basically no PS2/Xbox "role" now. The Xbox 360 is stepping up to everything. The PS3 tries to do the same, but we'll see... at E3.

Oh, and for something on-topic, can you play online with softmods?
