The real reason that the PS3 has all the other shit is because Sony's goal is not to make a videogame console, but to make an all-inclusive entertainment console. It was their goal with the PS2 but they didn't support the idea as much, now that they have the power of the Cell processor they are making this the main goal with the PS3.

Just to add a rebuttal to the previous post...

As much as I love my PS2 and will buy a PS3, I don't think that the PS3 is going to outsell the Microsoft's powerhouse this round. The XBox really impressed people with its power and it didn't even have that impressive specs. The XBox 360 has very impressive specs and given Microsoft Games's reputation for how the XBox lineup was run you can expect some pretty impressive launch games. That right there makes the XBox 360 more appealing and it will probably outsell the PS3. I'll end up buying both and the Revolution though. If Nintendo fucks up this time though I fear they will be going to way of Sega.
