it's part of a larger agenda and initiative to bring the Xbox brand closer to just PC gaming, Microsoft is hoping that they can develop a big prescense in PC gaming in the future I think (particularly with Xbox Live). By having higher end home consoles and such I think it's a step toward bridging th cap, then eventually maybe just a PC with a emphasis on gaming.
Time will tell though. Otherwise I'm not sure what the point is. Some devs will claim to love a home console at higher specs, but a huge percentage of devs aren't triple A and pushing out Crysis like games anyway
