Uhm, couldn't you do this with a PS*2*?

Also, the majority don't buy game consoles because they want a PC.  They
buy game consoles specifically because they do not want to deal with the
hassle of a PC to play games.  Or because they don't want little Jimmy
and his friends to accidentally destroy their financial records while
playing Mario Kart.

In short, one reason game consoles sell is that they aren't PCs. :)
