A console is a computer. How does an OS and a lot of threading help "the ability to be more complex"? The only thing your Microsoft OS is buying you is the ability for the paperclip to pop up while you're playing and ruin your game. You may not like the hardware specs on a console compared to some crazy video card you can stick into your motherboard, but the base technology there will only get better. You're already seeing the effects of the "console computer" where the new consoles have web browsers and media interfaces.
Are you just talking about the particular device you use to interact (keyboard versus pad)? You can already use a wireless or USB keypad with the Nintendo Wii, for instance.
