It is true, but I think it is going to have to do A LOT to overcome the stigma from non-gamers that come with the name xbox or playstation. To get the same multimedia capabilities as the PS3 (and probably the 360, but I don't really know) you have to pay far more, but people still go for those other options because they don't like having a PlayStation in their house
Anyway, it certainly has a lot of potential but it has yet to convince me
