This could mean Sony finally learned something about marketing.    Which on its turn could mean the interwebz are going to melt down, implode, then explode and finally implode again and generate a humongous black hole that will suck the whole universe.   

I wasn't trying to say you didn't buy your PS2 to play DVDs I asked if you purchased yours on launch day. The day where most people buying a console are buying them for games. I know people buoght a PS2 because it was a DVD player and played games. But the PS2s INITIAL success was driven by gamers. That's why the 360 was so well received. Gamers bought it on day one and drew all their friends to it. That inertia was at the center of the 360's success. It is the same for most consoles. I never claimed that the XB1 is or will be a failure in the least. Just having an IP named Halo is enough to sell some consoles. However, trying to expand your market BEFORE you have the core audience on board is not a formula for success. Especially when the 'features' in the XB1 are absolutely nothing really new.

I too believe there is room for both but at this point MS pissing off the hardcore audience has stunted the XB1 off the starting block.

you think that 75million people bought a ps2 just to play dvd's? Really?

I'm just going to through this out there, but what if this is a service for their T.V.s? Like being able to stream Gaikai right to your Sony television?

Its very possible.  With their current focus on the PS4, it is most likely something to work with the console (and maybe Vita/PS3).

If Sony sold TVs at the scale of Samsung, it would be much more possible.
