I remember hearing lofty claims that the PS2 would stay in touch with you all the time via phone calls and e-mail, managing your entire life. I remember hearing that we would come to think of the PS2 not as a game system, but as a standard device like an automobile, or a TV. 5 years later, it's just another game system. Sure it also has the ability to play CDs, DVDs, and go on the internet, but it's nothing revolutionary. Sony's big claims about the PS3 sound just as stupid now as the PS2's big claims sounded in 2000, I'm really not expecting it to be anything more than a game console.
