@AirIntake - True, perhaps I stated that poorly. Every generation of Nintendo's consoles are supported in one box. Not all the games are present, but every console is represented there in one machine from the NES to the Gamecube.

I have a whole host of past games that I still like to play from the PS1 and PS2. I don't want the clutter of 15 different systems sitting on a shelf in order to do so however. The PS3 doesn't need the actual PS2 hardware in order to play the last generation of games. Sony could be offering PS2 BC emulation and still aren't.

Maybe the folks that don't want or like having 15 different boxes sitting under their TV in order to play their games? The Wii lets me wrap up Nintendo's last 20 years worth of gaming in one tiny, unobtrusive box. The PS3 could do the same thing, did do the same thing at one point.
