Is the fact that the PS3 comes with Blu Ray a problem? Nope because players come with remotes and people like remotes and these players with free remotes only really cost like $100-150 and they use far less power than the PS3 and are much quieter.

that reminds me of a Pop.Mech. magazine I read recently where they were talking about home cinema setups.

They had a picture of a 360, a blu-ray player and a set-top internet box all next to each other.

no mention of the PS3, and one PS3 would do all that, have less cables and would take up less space (maybe energy too) than the three of those, but I'll admit it gives a single point of failure.

 

@S.T.A.G.E

yeah I'd agree.

MS has probably exceeded their own expectations. all the rest is icing on the cake

You don't use all 3 at the same time.

The PS3 technically does what all 3 does but only in certain countries. I don't think it has Playtv all over the world. But it doesn't play a single 360 game so if that's you're preferance then a PS3 is absolutely useless.
Believe it or not but there are people out there who prefer the 360, it's games and have zero interest in the PS3.
Shocking I know but the real world is different to what you've read on the internet. I would put my stock in what a spotty 12yo PS fanboy tells you on the net.

Cables aren't really a problem. My 2yo TV has 3 hdmi slots and power cables are usually out of sight out of mind.

I agree about MS exceeding their expectations but knowing what we know about MS I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't. Companies like MS and Sony aim BIG. Only first place will do and both will not be satisfied until they are number one.
