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).


Smart TV's will have sold 141 million by 2015. They are at 66 million now according to reports. The prices of the TV's are becoming more affordable. They are actually doing rather well despite what you're saying and with the possibilities of what the Kinect does with voice recognition coupled with camera gesture response.

- Smart TV's will have sold 141 million by 2015.

Did you ever use it? Really, it is mostly crap. Apps don't work, videos are stuttering, "games" are bs...

And yes, they are doing well but this doesn't contradict my points. But we will see how it turns out - it's of no use to predict how or if one TV-manufacturer will steal the show from Xbone.


1/3 of my gamer friends have smart TV's, and the only ones who ignore the apps are the gamers because of the console experience. I am thinking about getting one myself.


All of my gamer-friends have smart TVs and noone uses it because it is absoultey crap. Buy yourself one and test it yourself - it is of no use to most people. The interfaces are bad, apps are slow (Samsung has dual-cores by now in *TVs* to solve this issue) and the content is mostly nonsense if it's not the typical lovefilm-app, for example.
