One of the very big and very real problems that he touches on in the article is patches. If they start making patches available for consoles, the quality of console games (when released) will without a doubt deteriorate very, very fast, since programmers no longer have to finish the games before releasing them. They can always do that later on with a patch, if the game sells well. If it doesn't; well, that's just just too bad for all the people who did buy it. This is common practice with PC games, and has been annoying the hell out of me for years.
