I agree with most points onymeth, people seem to be rejecting the one box does all thing. But I don't think Nintendo is winning the living room war (although they are certainly winning the game console war)
I believe apple is winning. When you control the purchasing of content and the players for that content you are in a good spot. Itunes, Appletv, Ipod, and now Iphone. They are winning.

Apple winning the living room war? I dont think so. The 360 has more downloads every day for HD films and SD films than Apple I'd say. Also anyone I know who bought an Iphone got rid of it within a month. Apparantley the most dissapointing piece of kit they bought. ITunes and Ipod are stupidly priced and not compatible with everything. People are realizing straight MP3 is cheaper and more accessable. Put this together with the rumours M$ will have TV companies inbuild there next Xbox into HDTV's and M$ are really looking to take your living room.

Are you trying to troll?
iTunes is the biggest vendor of digital video, according to NPD. [1] Apple is selling about 1m TV shows per week and selling or renting about 350k movies per week, by their own records. Xbox 360 digital downloads are not even on the map. Microsoft hasn't published any statistics ever.
iPhones have an extremely high satisfaction rating, according to several studies. [2]
iPods support MP3 as well AAC which is the official MP3 successor, not owned by Apple and cheaper to license than MP3. There's also a range of 1000s of iPod accessories for any purpose one could imagine.
