This seems completely useless if you own any sort of entertainment device.

That is like saying Xbox is useless because Playstation existed and that Android and Windows Phones are useless because the iPhone existed.

Not sure I agree with your statement.

Amazon has a streaming app on just about every single device you can connect to your TV to include the TV itself. Why would I spend $99 for something that three other devices I already own can do the same thing? Unless Amazon plans on killing support for the consoles, HDTVs, stand-alone streaming boxes etc. I can't see myself purchasing one of these.

What exactly will make this stand out in the crowd of already connected devices?

 

It's $99 and has a bunch of $1 games which can be shared with tablets and phones ... a lot of parents may lean towards getting their kids this over a dedicated $300+ console with $60 games.
