You seem to be mistaken that MS need to please anyone but the gamers. No gamers on your console, publishers won't sell games, they'll produce less for it and spend less time on it. Retailers will notice your console games don't sell well and dedicate more space to the ones that do.
Please gamers, then please everyone else.
On your points, 1 isn't an option, they'd alienate too many people too quickly. In option 2 though you are right, they are in a weird middle ground and they aren't quite a TV box but it is hard to enter such a market like that when established companies already hold huge ground.
Hmm, pie.
