I remember this same tired old argument when PS2 and Xbox were released. Yawn...... Sure the console market is going to gain a large market share for a few years. And it will have more graphically impressive games than PC. But the PC technology will catch up and surpass the consoles, again, and PC will regain it's losses. Until consoles can offer the utility that a PC does the PC game market is very safe and secure. I have yet to see anything that says the nextgen consoles will provide the utility that a PC does. Once the consoles do reach a point where they can offer the vast array of services that a PC does the PC will have changed it's very nature and make the console game platform idea completely obsolete.

Seriously...who cares...for a new version of Windows at $$$$ it better do a whole hell-of-a-lot more than update without a reboot.
