I think its like 2 races on different tracks headed for the same finish line. Already I can plug my PC into my TV and watch movies that way. Consoles are mimicing PCs essentially. The only advantage to a console is the standardized production which allows the package itself to be less expensive, but that comes at a cost of customizability and scalability. The PS3 may be the best one but its also the most expensive and its losing cash to stay close to competitive, that implies that its just as good as a high end PC with all the bells are whistles. So if the PS3 were priced how it should be to turn unit by unit profit then I might as well built a sick PC instead and use it as a media centre PC. And if games on PCs ran on Linux and OSX maybe we'd be able to get way better performance out of our machines. Windows is crap and sucks so much resource.
So will consoles really replace the PC? Or won't it just be the other way around?
