    Too late.

    Consoles have USB ports, and some come with KB+mouse kits (PS3). They have hard drives. Console releases are now for-profit public betas with later patches, just like their PC counterparts.

    Meanwhile, PCs are getting smaller, and fewer and fewer people are building their own boxen. They just grab one off the Dell site, and when it shows up they just plug in everything and it works [1]. DirectX now pulls double-duty for XboX and PCs, blurring the lines even further.

    I'm not sure how I feel about it, but the convergence has begun.
