Is they never came out and said what the thing really is---a PC in a console box. They'll never EVER ship it with KB/Mouse like they SHOULD (the Dreamcast had it) because they don't want to be stygmitized.
I'd LOVE to be able to play online PC-style games on a PC-style console with PC-style hookups (and not really have to worry about upgrading) but that's not going to happen. That's how XBox screwed up, IMO.
