Consoles vs Web Browsing

Honestly this is one topic that drives me nuts! The one thing I have heard people say why the PS3 is so much better than the 360 is how they can browse the net on it. What is the point of being able to browse the net on a console? You can't be in game and browse the net at the same time so why do you need it? You may add that its cool watching You Tube videos on your big screen, come on now buy a cheap PC and use it instead. Plus if you get a decent video card it will play a lot better than the rendering on the console. There is no real reason why a console needs to be able to browse the net. Oh well just my 2 cents.
