My personal opinion is that a game console should be for gaming, nothing more. Online gaming and dlc included, but that's it. I don't need Netflix on my game console. I don't need to get on Facebook. I don't need to get on twitter. I need to play video games on my video game console(s). Yes I know the Wii has Netflix and an internet browser and I think the same about those. It's nice to be able to browse the internet with a Wiimote, but it's not necessary we have whole computers for that.
When I think back to the N64 era and before, I actually think I liked those systems better. Now it's just a competition to see who can add the most content to their console so everyone can flip out over it. I'd be happy if even one company realized that and went back to the what gaming consoles started off, as a gaming console.
