i personally dont own any consoles - money is tight, and i have to put it to where i am going to get the most out of it. however im noticing some stuff - basically redundancy on a grand scale. tv's are promising more and more internet capability. a $50 bluray player has all of the same capabilities - you cant hardly even find one that doesnt have all that shit. almost everybody i know that owns consoles own more than 1 - i know no devotees of a specific console. it's just not necessary to have all of the same shit on every damned device, so when i see someone say they would rather a console put it's focus squarely on being the most kickass gaming system possible i can understand it
