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.

Not if their kid says, "No Mom I wanted a [insert console here] like the rest of my friends!" That was a rationale for the Ouya and we all know what has happened to that. Granted this is Amazon.
I guess I can see this maybe being a niche product for the uninitiated Prime members looking for a simpler streaming device to watch their content on the TV. Though they most likely have an Amazon app on said TV so I just don't see where this really truly fits.
