The multimedia features are cool and they will most likely attract the "casual" audience. But they are focusing too much on this entertainment media thing. We gamers buy consoles for games, all the other stuff are optimal.
This doesn't mean the console will be an exclusive entertainment hub, games will be coming (they said that in the conference) but this too much focus on media and TV is unnecessary and will only be stuff that increase the price for something the majority of gamers won't use.
With good marketing and price this will probably be a huge success in America (and that's another thing, for now this looks like an American box, and most of this entertainment things won't be available in other countries), but I fear that this won't be a gaming console, this will just be another machine where you can watch Netflix only with a more fancy user interface and voice controls.
