Yeah, consumer choice has been working sooooo well for the PS3 and 360 hasn't it? whenever I see somebody try to decide between a 360 and a wii they always say "Well hell, there is only one wii. Give me a damn choice why don't you! I think I'll decide on my hard drive size now!"

Consumer choice isn't a necessity of a product if the product doesn't need one. Consoles are not PCs. A PC, you can add more hard drive space for little money. A PC you can update incrementally, but that isn't the case with a console. You want more hard drive space on your console you have to buy the latest sku. That is why it's bad. You may know what you want with the current SKUs but in the next 6 months they might release something better for the same price you just paid, maybe even less. And if you want it, you have to buy a new console.

A console is meant to last for a generation, unlike a PC.
Thats how I feel.  I was going to try posting something like this, but you put it in much better terms.
