Its not hate, I am just pointing out the efficient nature of a product that is really taking things forward. TV's connecting to the internet make more sense than a set top box that does. Matters not that it plays games if you're pandering to casuals.

Why? They both make plenty of sense. It's especially handy with the snap feature in The One. I can be playing a game, and if I ever get stuck I can quickly snap Youtube or internet and see how to do that part without any effort. It's all perfectly seemless and there's nothing wrong with that at all.

Thats awesome for a gamer, but for a casual the efforts of MS might get cut from the TV alone. All they need to do is make a Blu Ray smart TV and Sony and MS are both screwed when it comes to casuals. True all in one devices tend to take over, because the mass audiences likes simpler use, which is why IPads and tablets are going to continue to outsell portable PCs. They are on their way to dominant numbers even through 2015 according to a news report I heard earlier.

People want the All-in-One solution especially in America. It might help the Xbox become more appealing, but the Xbox wont draw as many people as they hope for if Samsung stands in the way. If Samsung can make people question Apple MS is no problem at all.

Yes, but: Samsung is only one TV-manufacturer and people don't buy new TVs that often. Also Samsung implements this stuff in their most expensive line of TVs. It's definitely not for the casuals (by now).
