I really don't know the answer form a general people perspective,

However from a personal view, I don't believe in game consoles becoming media boxes lol. I can already skype, play dvds, bluray ets with my bluray player and smart tv. I dont need MORE devices that do this shit. Sadly game devices had to adopt to cater to these people who want the same service on another device in home.

yeah that's kinda why I made this is because I don't count myself as the typical "mass consumer" so just wondering what sort of effect people think it would have on a major scale.
