I wouldn't say "limited-function" so much as "specialized function". Your typical game system could run a normal computer operating system just fine. They just happen to be running the OS designed for them....and the system hardware is highly focused at graphics and audio output instead of "general" computing.

The computing engine inside a PS3 is much much faster than your average PC, but it really is still just a computer.
