Just playing 1080p is easy with hardware that existed two years ago, especially if you wanted to stick with a SoC. The issue is whether they include enough under the hood to deal with emerging technology. For instance, does anyone recall what HDMI version the box was spec'd with? NVIDIA are also moving to better things and I doubt the retail price is going to drop when it's released, meanwhile we might see some competition implementing Tegra 3.
