1. If all that mattered was the ability to play games (and no other multimedia functions) then why would those features be advertised by the companies and why would they even be implemented in the costs of producing the system? Why didn't Sony just use more powerful hardware instead of spending money for their software to support multimedia applications like Netflix? 

2. In your opening post you said nothing about performance or graphics. You mentioned, "what is in the box." It was generally labeled "hardware", 

 

 

  1. Can you show me one commercial sony has made saying that the PS3 plays netflix? Or that its also a blu-ray player. I am beginning to think you do not grasp what it means when referring to somethings primary fucntion. A gaming consoles primary fucntion is to play games. That is solely what it is designed for. Everything else it can do is just a bonus. But I strongly doubt anyone alive spends $400 on a console primarily to play netflix. And as for Pcs, if all someone wants to do with their PC is browse, youtube, check their mail and edit the odd documnet or two. I strongly doubt they would buy anything outside a basic laptop.
  2. You should read my opening post again. I am just not gona do this again with yet another person that choses to noyt read the opening post properly, sees PC vs consoles and jumps to conclusions.
And no, these long list of tings you mention are subjective. And still has nothing to do with what this thread is actually about. I don't get why some PC gamers have to reach far and wide and include things that have no business being in this thread what so ever.Posts like yours and all that you are saying just screams you are someone that seems to have so much to say but alcks the patience to simply understand what is even being discussed.
Scroll up a little, look at any number of posts I have made explaining this very thing (and funny enough only to the PC die hard for some strange reason). Maybe thne you will see just how outta place what you are saying is. Whats really funny is that what this thread is about will also apply even if the only thing we are talking about here are PCs. But the second some see PC vs Consoles they jump to conclusions and start reading arbitrary meanings into comments made.
