Because I'm biased and think that anyone who actually tries can understand PC games, and if you can't you're either lazy or stupid. :)
And OB1, read that interview. It's the second article posted. They make it clear that the auto-loader thing which in this thing is the only way most people will be using it only works with things they program it to work with.. several thousand games by launch. But it won't just work with everything. They said they won't put any productivity applications into the system, for instance...
Oh, and it has a net connection on all the time and it will download patches and stuff for games and install them for you.
Oh just read it all, it's actually a good read. And not very long.

Quote:GS: Can anyone license the technology?
LK: Not anyone, just select partners. We don't like to use the term "licensing" because we provide a BIOS chip that contains portions of the software. They're also getting our database of scripts, and several programs that work together that we call the DISCover engine. It's really more of a partnership. We don't just hand them a little gold CD. We also script all the games and optimize them to their system.
