my shpeal above was for this generation. the next gen (360, ps3, rev) will start off with that, but branch out.
in that case you're correct -- sony will push more of a graphical standpoint, going from "worst to first" in that department. they're now the horsepower company, hoping to take the best graphics and apply that to the best library.
microsoft will push their "live" feature, while additinoally taking a giant ps2-like leap into the next gen world, providing next gen graphics months, if not years, ahead of competition. their hope is to unite the market (under their hat) with great graphics and online interactivity.
nintendo's hope is to appeal to their 20+ year fan base with downloadable classics, and retro minded all star cast, all while pushing ahead with free online networks. and all of this is merely to support the "revolutionary" gaming style, based upon their new controller.
