My theory is that Microsoft already controls your office, now they want your living room. All of their media partnerships help them to integrate your Media Center PC with your Home theater.
If the Cable infastructure gets regulated like the phone lines did[Comcast is lobbying like crazy against this, but losing], then M$ will be in the perfect position to stream their own Media to any living room. Pretty soon XBLTv will be competing with Comcast, Direct TV, etc...
The crazy thing is that over the past 3 years Video Game revenues have significantly increased across the whole industry. All the more reason to base the whole system on a gaming console.
Bill Gates overall vision is still a key goal for Microsoft. Integrated home environment, work and entertainment through easy input. Voice recognition for example. I belive that Microsoft is just picking one area at a time to implement this vision and making sure that each is fully integrated with the past and future.
