This can succeed only to some extent because not many ppl buy a PC for gaming AND a console or a phone AND a digital media player when they can enjoy everything in one device. While many ppl today with comps buy Xbox 360, many who just play games have given up their PCs.

It's funny, I had a conversation along these lines yesterday. I guess RoundTable could be another good example, MS being able to demonstrate OCS compatible hardware through the development cycle generated a lot of attention from the industry and business buy-in for OCS projects. I'm sure partners are jumping on the bandwagon to produce their own devices, but RoundTable probably played a part in directing the industry down that path.
