oh ok... well it won't be a toy.... but already this gen the 360 has massive success with media center HTPC enthusiast compared to PS3... simply because of the media center extender making the 360 an excellent cable box tuner extender.... I know a tone of people on forums that bought more than 5 XB360 just because of that once the price was low enough.... instead of renting boxes for several rooms and all...
so I could see this turning into a major point for those same people down the line once it will be around 199... all the non gaming features of XB1 are one of the biggest reason I'm convinced it will have very long legs among entertainment nerds.....

The original Xbox spawned an actual independent development team around this home theater, with XMBC.  The popularity of it is what drove Microsoft to develop the features for the Xbox 360.
