That article had a stronger emphasis by the fact the xbox had a hard drive and went online etc. I personally see pc gaming next to gone in ten yrs time.
Also what you say about the consoles reading dvds. That is very relevant because it simply means if you mod it to boot burnt unsigned media etc, and because it reads dvds it will boot games on a dvd. Just like the dreamcast read CDs and booted GD rom games from cd instead if gd disk. So what the disk drive reads influiences how it can be used against its self, just like the Wii. And of course I mean once its been modded to do so.
