It's funny that consoles are becoming more and more like computers. Technically, they are, with a different operating system. The decreasing size of mini PC's and the increasing size of consoles is blurring the line between them. The PS3 even uses USB ports.
The thing that consoles really have going for them is the immediate standardization of a new computing platform. PS3's use the cell processor, a very powerful chip, but games have to be specifically programmed for it.
It would be near impossible to make this transition to a PC, where developers would have to code for a wide range of hardware. They can't just say "need a cell processor" or else game sales will be way down.
I mean, with bluetooth, wireless, a hard drive, Blue Ray drive, and plain USB ports for the controllers, and a DVD player, the PS3 is almost an HTPC!
Should be awesome to see what kind of graphics this thing can pump out.
I still think games are better with a mouse and keyboard.
