I kinda read it different. I thought he was referring to handhelds, of which a phone has already simplified facebook on the move and is smaller. Whereas consoles are different. They save alot of time not turning your PC on. And automatically adds Gamer friends.

Well, I actually listened to the podcast and this is exactly what he was referring to.  He was talking about the new DS and how he didn't see the need for a camera on it.  And he didn't like the size.

So he's saying that putting a camera on a game platform is pointless? I don't really see how that changes anything.

Or is it cool to have a camera on your gaming platform, cool to have Facebook functionality, but just plain silly to allow the camera to work with Facebook?

He was saying that having a camera and using it for gaming was neat, but having a camera and using it for other things on a gaming handheld device was not something he was interested in.  Because he already had a phone that could do that.  It was mainly about whether he should upgrade DS or not.  Since he already owns one.
