check out this post from June 2003 about Xbox2 ~ Xenon (Xbox 360)
it turned out to be largely correct

Project-Xenon, get used to hearing that name gamers; because that's
XBOX 2's
official codename!

First, know that Xenon has been in the works since almost immediately
after
the XBOX launched. As such it won't need to scrounge for off the shelf
computer components like the original did! No chipset has been
finalized yet
but my sources say that Nvidia and ATI are in a fierce competition for
the
privilege!

Xenon is being designed to have a more global appeal so expect this
machine
to be smaller and appeal more to the fickle Japanese Market! Xenon may
also
make use of wireless internet technologies, XBOX Live anywhere!

The graphics would be Nvidia or ATI... wow, you must have a crystal ball to
have discovered this, amazing.

The 360 is barely smaller than the xbox, and has a massive power supply too.

Hardly the revelation of the century, new consoles feature wireless
technology! Plus the fact that 360 isn't actually wireless internet, it's
wired unless you buy an add on.

Well done, for bringing up a post that anyone could've written and is
largely wrong!

the OP intended it as 'well with a bit of hindsight' what do we make of the
past postings..

I was interested to see how the anticipated price dropped from what was
initially mooted!!
