Kunitake Ando, the president and CEO of Sony, has said that Xbox could compel the company to launch PlayStation 3 earlier than intended. "The biggest threat to the PlayStation 2 is that the Xbox changes the industry's life cycle," said Ando. He added that the life cycle of PS2 could be as little as three years.
However, a recent report forecasts that a staggering 34 million PS2s will have been sold in North America by 2004, while Xbox will have shifted 20 million units and Gamecube 18 million.
Development of PlayStation 3 has already begun and Sony have partnered with Toshiba and IBM to develop the technology for the next next-gen console. Production of the PS3 chip is scheduled to begin in 2004. It is reported have a greater focus on delivering communication and broadband services.
It could be the greatest ever console ever!
It is sopposed to clip on the back of the Playstation 2.

I doubt the X-box will sell more than the Gamecube.

Sony announced the working specs for the PS3 a month before the PS2's release to assure investors of their long term output. This included the idea that it would be 1000 times more powerful than the PS2 and would have 1000 more switches on it's circuit board. Whether such technology will exist when the PS2 comes out is another thing...
The console will not be a PS2 add on- surely anyone into gaming can see that? In any case, it could well be another PS2 style diappointment.
