Can Game Consoles Be All Things to All People?
Remember the concept of the entertainment center? It would be a single piece of furniture in which you could fit a television, audio system, video recorder, and whatever else into a corner of the living room or den. But then the flat panel mounted on the wall, the DVD player and set top box went elsewhere, and audio was distributed around the room. If you look at the direction that gaming consoles are going, you get the sense that the vendors are trying again to create the entertainment center â€" in the confines of a box that can even go with you as you travel.
