Again, I come back to the comparison with PCs. It's current more expensive to own two PCs than it is to own two consoles, _but_ you don't need two PCs to run two operating systems.
The fact that Microsoft don't have full control of all software on PCs doesn't mean that they don't have a monopoly on PC software in general. Similarly, while there's nothing to stop you having several consoles, if the XBox is the defacto console, most games will be created for them (again, much like PCs today), eveyone else will have one (and that means more network players), etc.
