Lunchtime Discussion: Do Consoles Really Need Social Apps?

TheSixthAxis: ‘Today is the day that your 360 gets an update that includes, amongst other, musicier things, Facebook and Twitter functionality (in fact, the update is already live). There’s also word that the PS3 is going to get Facebook functionality, which will undoubtedly result in a rather stupid ‘whose Facebook is better’ fanboy war, which will unavoidably result in espionage in the form of one side’s ninjas sabotaging the Facebook functionality of the other.

Or will it? I don’t know why, but I get the feeling that the millions of mad FPSers are going to spend their time, you know, FPSing, rather than Facebooking. The racers will keep on racing, the singers will keep on singing, the guitar heroes will keep on Guitar Hero-ing.’
