I always love statements like this that assumes it knows a market with no data.  This is the part you do not get.  Because the machine is a media entertainment device, it fits all the little spots for a consumer who is looking for something that does MORE than games but can also serve up content, run their fantasy league and snap between content including making 1080P video calls to your brother while you watch the game together.

So I will agree that no average NFL TV watcher will pay 500 bones for just a game machine but they sure probably would pay 500 bones for a media entertainment device that serves up all their content and allow them to do multiple things at the same time while socializing with their family who do not live in the same area or state.

Wishful thinking at best. 

Lots of dreamers in here who will be in for a rude awakening.

Actually the only dreamer seems to be you.  You dismiss a mass market feature like its nothing.  You dismiss having integration with the top fantasy leagues on your console as nothing.  You believe that people would not see having the ability to snap between video conference between family members while watching something that is a social featuere, Sports!

You believe just because a feature does not tick your box, it cannot be popular which is another falacy.  When all is said and done, there is no rude awakening.  For people who believe this is a nice feature, they will get the X1 and enjoy it.  I am sure they will not care about any fanboy arguments on its merits or care how many X1 sales compared t the competition.
