It would be really interesting if Adobe made the Flash Platform available for the mainstream console market and tied it in (or preferably made it optional) with a game store where people can buy and developers can sell games for these consoles.
The problem with the Flash runtime and building applications on it is that UI's created on the Flash runtime get very, what's a good word?, sticky?
Look at Balsamiq Mockups. Weird scroll bars (not OS native) and the UI just isn't as smooth as native OS counterparts. Would you want to browse Amazon that was build as a big Flash app? Of course, no one does.
However, it's seems that Adobe has finally found a niche with the Flash runtime, games.

They shut down the AIR marketplace http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/air_marketplace_faq... but it is worth trying again.
Never even knew that existed!
