My PC also has many times more games, and a better variety of games, than said console will have over its entire lifetime, and will more than likely have more games released over a given period of time than said console after its release.
I also forgot to mention that my PC has, IMO, a superior human interface in the keyboard & mouse (part of the reason for the variety of games - try playing strategy games with a controller...)
Gee, which motion-sensitive controller system do I pick? The $199 Wii or the $499/$599 PS3? What a tough decision. Especially when you consider that a) the PS3 has been repeatedly reported, by developers, no less, as being way under-powered, whereas many devs have expressed enthusiasm for making games for the Wii, b) the Revolution's game lineup is, IMO, looking much better than the PS3's, and c) we've yet to hear the last about cool stuff in the Wii (that announcement should be pretty interesting)
Let us further consider that for the price of a PS3, I can easily build myself a computer with many times the hard drive space, reasonable comparability hardware-wise (assuming we don't buy into Sony's hype), and the ability to do everything a computer can do that a PS3 can't (i.e. everything but play games and DVDs). Oh, did I mention I can upgrade the PC if I want to? Also that my PC has a much wider range of games than the PS3? Yeah...
Yeah, I was really surprised that he talked about not getting duplicate games, but completely failed to address the platform issue. What's more clueless than buying them Charlie's Angels for Gamecube? Buying them Charlie's Angels for Gamecube when they only own an Xbox.
I have to ask, why do we need to go back to the moon? Is there any real, scientific reason for it, or is it just our dear president trying to keep people's minds off other things with another moon mission?

YES! Let's all pay out the a$$ because we love free software!

Anyone see a little parallel here to Asimov's ideas in Foundations? Scientific stagnation being a sure sign of the Empire dying...
