I think the Japanese way is the future, kind of.
I am pretty sure the future of consoles will be one that does both.
By that I mean a handheld console that can be connected to a TV/projector or whatever to play games.
All the non-gaming stuff that say, the x360 does like netflix, sky and whatever will be present in pretty much all standard tvs by then.
My mate got a samsung (i think it's a samsung) tv recently and the online stuff it does is amazing.
Firmware updates can make it do everything a console does apart from games and dvd/br.
It made me release all this talk of MS\sony wanting to take over the living room is rubbish as TVs are now well capable of doing all the extras.
Eventually game consoles will go full circle and go back to what they started out as. Game consoles.
