Literally everyone has some sort of device that does multimedia features better than consoles would do in foreseeable future. I don't get this obsession with wanting 10 devices that you can use for Netflix, Facebook and Twitter.

It's nice to have some of those features but people buy the consoles for games.

The general consumer doesnt' get the obsession with it either, which is why the gaming console is the perfect all-in-one device.

Also, no, core gamers buy consoles for games. Everyone else will buy them for their total capability.

I am not trying to be rude in any way but can you list what other capabilities are we talking here. 

Anything your smartphone can do... or PC.. or what MS and Apple and Google are already doing with their Live and AppStore and Chrome/Play Market.
