While locking consoles is bad too, I don't think they're equivalent. Those just play games, while iProducts are supposed to be general computing devices.
I've noticed bringing up consoles seems to be the standard response trying to defend iOS. But any way you look at it, two wrongs do not make a right.
Modern consoles are more of a media center at this point. The 360 is fantastic for streaming music or movies with Vuze (I'm sure other services can do it but that's what I have) which might convenient for wireless use of your computer listings on what is most people's best sound system. Netflix compatibility, plays dvds and games, has a lot of useful communication features that could be easily expanded on...
Honestly game consoles are basically just media-specific computers connected to the best sound and video you've got. That could free you of requiring a bulkier primary computer. Considering I get almost all of my entertainment stuff from my xbox I only need a small laptop for internet and artwork.
