In November this year, Sony will launch the PlayStation 3. Apparantly, Sony has high expectations for the Linux-powered device, and Sony even claims it will render the PC useless. "We believe that the PS3 will be the place where our users play games, watch films, browse the Web, and use other [home] computer functions," said Sony exec Phil Harrison. "The PlayStation 3 is a computer. We do not need the PC." Let's see how Sony's Vaio devision feels about this.

If we are talking about a computer that can play commercial media (purchased music/movies/etc), play networked video games, and interoperate with devices, we are probably talking about a Windows-based device. By these measures, the Vaio has a better chance of beating the 360 than the PS3 does.
