The Netflix streaming functionality will be a major selling point to the casual buyers. They may know very little about gaming but they immidiately get it when you talk to them about streaming 12,000 movies.
Netflix is going to be major selling point for this holiday season. It is also viral. You can imagine the holiday dinner demos where you show your cousin the neat movie streaming and he goes out the next day to get one machine for himself. It just demos great!
Later on, just the improved experience will lead to better customer satisfaction from the system and word of mouth will increase sales.
