Yes I can. I'm European and as far as I'm concerned something like Apple TV, Roku or Netflix does not exist. To tell the truth I don't even know what these things do and what they are all about, I've never even heard the word "Roku" before, so I don't know if it is a product or a service. We don't get all these media services, so for us a gaming console is exactly that - a gaming console. Hence to me this is exactly like one of those stupid and confusing Nintendo or SEGA devices. Maybe you Americans see it differently, but I guess you're in a different situation. |
apple tv, roku, this rumured xbox mini, they are streaming devices. they are hooked to to your tv (or monitor) and enable you to access a variety of streaming services. so the devices do the streaming, and the videos come from various sources, wether that be your own pc, neflix, crackle, love film, etc. these devices (or their equivilants) are used in europe as well as in the us. think of them as a small stripped down pc used to stream video to your tv. the xbox is kind of merging the two, as is the ps3/ps4. since any gaming machine can also stream video easily it makes sence to have 1 device do both.
