Before the Sony Playstation 3 had come out, it was expected that the console would wipe the floor with the Microsoft Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii. However, the outcome was far from that possibility. It was the Nintendo Wii that turned the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360 into its “prison lovers.”

As examples, Kim mentions watching pro sports games on the Xbox while chatting with your friends, and reveals that they're thinking about adding a music service. (Zune? Hopefully not
