What you need to keep in mind is that both Sony and Microsoft have agendas.
Sony is a multimedia company so they want to put a home entertainment system in your living room. It supports their movie and music industry and helps them win the Blueray format war.
Microsoft is trying to put a computer in your livingroom, thus the extrodinary online gaming experience, and all the PC/Xbox ports.
Weather or not these are pluses or minuses to everyone is completely random. Some people want a Blueray player for the awesome picture quality, others want the Online gaming experience without investing 500 dollars every month keeping their computers state of the art.
