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.


So what you are saying is that marketing does not make a difference for a device.  

If a toaster could make me coffee, a grilled cheese sandwitch and egg over easy when I wake up in the morning, well I know what toaster I would purchase.

If I market a toaster by showing its ability to check email, that's a rather inept way of advertising a product that toasts things no?

I think your analogy is quite disingenuous to what the Xbox One does. These are side features that enhance the product...it isn't incorporating any other main features. It does not offer TV services - it simply enhances already paid for services.
