Why Nintendo is failing and will likely replace both of their consoles earlier than expected.

I'm not really convinced that this is what people want in a console. I mean didn't Microsoft remove Facebook and Twitter from the 360?

Also, Windows 8 had a hard enough time making sure everything works with mouse and keyboard as well as touch screen. Adding in controller support would mean they have to start from scratch, and would have to update every app they already have. This kills one of the benefits instantly, and means they have to basically relaunch the app store.

Plus full OS means less security. Or at least the perception of it in the minds of Sony and Microsoft. They would probably be too scared.
