I do think consoles should be required to be open (as I think all phones should be), but I am sympathetic to the idea that consoles are somehow in a different class than phones or desktop/laptop computers. Consoles feel like purpose-built game machines, whereas phones feel like general purpose computers, albeit small ones.

Really, though, I don't have a good reason why I think it might be ok to lock down a purpose-built game machine. So maybe that's just not ok either.
