@Darkefka @Axile11 @DarkSaber2k -- I think you mean "taking the OS of Windows Phone and putting it on a PC." Cause that's essentially what Microsoft did.
@Zic99 Dude, those were PROTOTYPES. Things can change in a year's time. Sony never promised any of that stuff, they were just target specs. They had to simplify the hardware to keep costs down.
@DrKill09 -- All those features you described are superfluous. They really aren't needed in a game console. Stop trying to compare game consoles with PCs.
The original Wii can't do that. I've deleted my Wii Shop account before (accidentally), and all my purchase history was deleted. I can't redownload any of my games, I have to rebuy all of them.
@Ferrybird To be fair, Steve was a brilliant businessman and marketing genius. He knew what people wanted before they knew it existed. See the iPod, iTunes, iPad, iPhone, iMac, etc.
