People, the PS1 had the CD player and the PS2 had the DVD player, and they are to this day the best selling consoles ever, the PS3 problem was not including a multimedia center, the problem was that CD was cheap to make when PS1 launched, DVD was cheap to make when PS2 launched, but Blu-Ray was a brand-new technology (and because of that, expensive) when the PS3 launched, the console was designed to fight a war with Toshiba and promote the new HD-format, this was different than before and because of that the games division suffered, next console won't do that again, but it will sure be a multimedia device (I'm guessing Blu-Ray, different video formats and digital streaming with a more powerful Cell, more RAM and a better Video Card, with that the price should start on $300)...
