Do you know for instance that 60% of Americans surf the net at the same time they watch TV? The mobile platform simply has that much greater value for a lot of people. Its great value in this instance because for ~$200 more than an equivalent laptop the user gets greater than console performance with the advantage of mobility and the ability to use it whenever he/she wishes. Its a great deal vs the almost stupid reluctance of publishers to make games which aren't just single player. Its for this reason that I suspect future PC-like portables like the Slate/iPad to eat some of the console market shere of the Xbox 360 and PS3.
Tease.
