Ah good for you, the realXtend seems like a wierd concept - then again I kind of understand... I'd have to read some more about i, but it's not gaining my interest. I'm a simple guy I guess - if I'm not interested I don't pursue it.. it's worked well for me, it's how I determine if I would buy something, then why and then invest.
I see it as being general apps though, similar to what you were describing, the difference though is that seems like a running window, I'm reffering to Home being an application driven virtual space, that is a game.
But I don't believe Home in it's currentlly known direction is sellable even with XMB, maybe 20 milion installed on that platform before it begins to grind unless it can catch a 'cool' wave or has 'must have' content.
But this is about can apple own the living room. So my answer is maybe - I'm not sure if they want to, From what I can tell, they are making a round about trip to dominate the Laptop market by making a smaller laptop with half the functions.. it's very similar to the patter of the Wii, The Wii was released with very few add-ons and a very unique kind of selection as to how it could be defined, as time went on new elements were added to it.
Home seems to be an a simulator on the greater end, I'm not sure how a demographic who would buy 4 million copies of CoD and 2 million copies of Drake Fortuen and so on and so forth would react to a simulator... of course it's free, but that last thing I want in my video games is DLC or in game advertizments.
The more I think about it the more pointless the original question seems, has Apple announced a console? Or does he mean the living room enetertainment set? Sterio, Tv, Dvd player and so on? I just assumed since this is a gaming site the OP meant consoles.
I'm Unamerica and you can too.
