@dno--dude i give up your words are feeble and twisted as an old womans(great quote from the 13th warrior)
you seem to think that just b/c some people are paying for extra features they want everyone must be, you also seem to think that last gen should be taken into acct when discussing current gen systems,
and your right the average joe bought the Ps2 for games...lots of games not b/c it could network, not b/c it could be a dvd player...but b/c it played games --sure there were some that bought it for the extras...but the MAJORITY (see i can do caps as well) bought it for the great libary it had/has/and will have...that is the reason it sold so well
the reason the gamecube tanked was b/c it did not get the games, even if its cheap it had nothing to play (unlike its wii offspring--people are workign to get it on there)
the point you seem to breese over (and look silly for) is this
some peopel will pay for teh extra eatures if they want, the averge consumer will not pay extra for items they dont need or want
