That's actually not what I said at all. You, as well as many in here, are simply allowing your fanhood to cloud your ability to find my argument (despite my many attempts to clarify for you). Remove your head from the clouds and read what I say.

I am saying that people not interested in gaming will not plop down $500 for the non-gaming features. It's not that type of device...it falls way short in that regard. The Venn diagram was intended to be used to make this explicitly clear for you. I mean, you're welcome to disagree with that analysis, but I think you have unrealistic expectations. 

As to the commercial, it appears MS must also understand your Venn diagram because the commercial did not show or talk about anything to do with games but showed the ability to have your fantasy updates on the same screen as your sports game.  It showed Skype snap ability and voice navigation.  Did it strike you that for the people where gaming isn't a big deal, those features are.  Seems the narrow focus is your perception.  Ms isn't marketing the X1 to that crowd as a gaming machine, its marketing to that crowd as an entertaiment machine.  This is what makes your argument not sound.  I know for a fact that people who are serious about their Sports, pay big money for large screen TVs, sound systems etc.  Plunking down down 500 for a device that integrate a lot of what you do in one area is a very strong feature.

MS is free to market their device as they please, no matter how stupidly. Yes the big screens are bought to enjoy the big picture, not to be cumbered by other things. 

A toaster is a toaster, no matter how many other features you add to it.
