If most people don't even know their consoles have those media functions Leo-j how would adding more help sell the console? Less than half of the 360, PS3, and Wii owners have even connected to the internet on their respective consoles. The fact is most people who buy game systems buy them just to play the games, and don't really care about anything else that it does.
That's why only two things REALLY determine the winner of the system war: Most games for the cheapest price. The Gamecube was always a little cheaper than the PS2, but it didn't have very many games at all. The Wii is much cheaper than either of the other systems and by the beginning of 2008 will have the most games (even if most of those games are crappy shovelware). That's all that really matters in sales. For us, as core gamers, we look for other things like media abilities and quality of the games available, but the mass market simply isn't that deep.
