Mm... but. The thing about consoles is that they are made specifically for playing games, (stuff like media centers are just add-on benefits) and are mass-produced for that purpose while computers are not. This gives consoles an advantage in price, but a major disadvantage in flexibility. Computers can have mixed and matched parts, be overclocked, custom cooled, and so on.

Also, the technology behind these systems is very... linear. The technology is already at least a year old and will only get more outdated as time goes by. Meanwhile, computer technology is constantly evolving.

The President of NVidia said that the PS3 has the graphical power of two Geforce 6800 Ultra's in SLI. The current generation equivalent is the 7800 GTX, which without SLI is only about a 10% difference from what the PS3 can allegedly do, and in SLI is more powerful. The next generation of 2006 will likely be at least 50% more powerful than that. It will take the console game makers a few years to really utilize the technology (which has been shown time and time again in the past) so by the time the PS3's potential has been tapped, it will be old news.

This is false. Sure the PS3 is impressive, but it's not better than a top of the line PC.
