Yes, the Xbox 360 could be used as a low-end personal computer, e.g. for home computing. The future corporate models could have a DVI interface and bigger hard drive.
How can 3 symetrical PowerPC cores running at 3.2 GHz be considered a low end computer? 3D games are some of the most demanding software in wide use today, so any hardware that can play 3D games well can also do pretty much everything else extremely well.

The Xbox 360 will probably be faster than the mini - and my mini does not feel very "low end".
Probably? Heh, talk about hedging. I'll make it clear: the XBox360 is going to smoke the iMac mini. It will smoke a stack of 6 of them.
