I look at this new generation of consoles as being like that old saying "Jack of all trades Master of none." They're trying to be everything to everyone. I don't think the term console applies to these systems anymore as they have moved past that old term starting with the PS3/XBox 360, they are more media centers than consoles. You can play games, watch tv, watch movies on BR-D/DVD and services like Netflix and Hulu, stream music among other things. When I think console I'm reminded of the SNES, Genisis, and Atari; devices that did one thing and did it extremely well (for the technology at that time). I do like console gaming, although I do prefer to do most of my gaming on PC now. There are games that I can't get on the PC because they're console only, which doesn't bother me. I will probably end up getting both the PS4 for myself and XBox One for use with the main TV simply because it has more media features.
