PS3 will NOT have router capability

Looks like the guys at Sony have given up their dream of dominating the router market (through proprietary means of course).  The new PS3 will not have router functionality through its 3 gigabit ports.

 

I can see some advantages in terms of not having to count on random NAT traversal, but I can’t imagine having to configure DHCP, static routes or PPPoE setting in the console.
