I'd also state that hardware is the loss leader and the money is in the licensing of the software to the platform.
Thus, MS, Sony, Nintendo make bank on the licensing fees for every game made and sold for their platform. While it will be attractive to the developers because they only have to develop for 1 platform if there happens to still be something like a wii, then Nintendo will make zero licensing fees to allow it to run on their machine. Not likely to happen in todays marketplace.
As far as the technology is concerned, that is the realm of why the PC games make the leaps and bounds that they do in comparison to the consoles. The PC hardware is still changing and evolving. Consoles stay put for iterations at a time.
I don't see the add value aside from that it's really cool.
