Default Qy: Future of high end BD playback

Right now PS3 is (arguably) king for BD playback; shortly to be deposed by a new round of standalones featuring colour upsampling etc.

My question is, looking ahead over the next 2-3 years, will high end standalones offer the best picture quality or will HTPCs with beefy video cards be better still?

(Will playback software + video cards do everything the best standalones will do in dedicated hardware?)

If the answer is "Too early to tell, must wait and see" that's ok. I'm not trying to invite futile speculation, just wondering if anyone knowledgeable about hardware has the answer already. TIA.
