if anything its nintendo thats ruining it by not listening to gamers.
but no, games are games, it doesnt matter if your console doubles as a toaster, it still plays games and that toaster doesnt effect them.
personally i like it. case in point, just last week i went on vacation to canada to go 'camping' well i brought my PS2, and because i brought that i didnt need to bring a DVD player to watch movies.
at home i have a much better dvd player, so i dont use it, that doesnt effect the great games it has at all.
