I don't want a multimedia focusing console. I want a gaming console. I am a gamer. Games are the most important aspect of my gaming console. I can watch NFL on my tv.

K.

This reminds me of a friend of mine who was adament about not getting a smartphone. He just wanted to make phone calls on his phone. 

Most "gamers" aren't strict gaming robots or something. We watch TV. We like to be connected to the internet. 

Phone calls are still the most "important" aspect of my smartphone, but in today's age there's no reason I don't expect to be able to browse the internet, check my social networking sites, listen to music on my phone while I'm working out at the gym, etc. etc. etc. 

The thing is, while you are correct about watching tv and being connected to the internet, I (as with most people as well) already have multiple devices for that. I have a laptop computer. It does most of my internet needs (such as vgchartz). I have an Iphone 5. That's where I check my facebook, email, quick basketball scores, ect. I have a Ps3 and a Vita. While I do use the Vita (Music unlimited service) for music playing, I do so while I play games. My ps3 is only used for games. 

I like to use my gaming consoles for games, is what I'm trying to say.

I have multiple devices, but when watching TV this is far more convienant. Voice control television I think is definitely the optimal TV interface. I don't want to be looking down at my freaking tablet to message a friend when I'm trying to simultaneously watch Game of Thrones or the Heat-Bulls basketball game or something. 

I love that the X1 also automatically recoginizes you as soon as the Kinect turns on and automatically loads up all your favorite settings and what not. No need to even say anything. 

This is something I will use and keep on for the whole day, not just when I'm playing games.
