This is so funny because its like a complete flip flop from the launch of 360 and PS3, where PS3 was being touted as the media box and the 360 was this epic gamer centric machine. MS are one heavy price tag away from putting themselves in Sony's position. Sony's probably thinking, "You take that media center, all in one approach and see where that gets you."

At the very least they know who the early adopters are for these consoles. The services they provide alongside are also potentially looking very gamer friendly. So they have a great momentum going. Once they get the early adopters in and the price drop kicks in, they can heavily market the device as being the "all in one" box to get the rest in. Their plan seems sound. Let's just see now how they execute. So far so good Sony.

But as we know the PS3 eventually overtook 360, so... ;)
