I don't get Microsoft's new Xbox tactic

Umm... Xbox is very much considered a media device. Between all the media related APPS (New TV apps are released almost monthly on the 360) on the X360 and being a Windows Media Extender .,.. so I am confused by your statement there.

Second.. SONY has the SAME plan.. People forgot that SONY announced a Playstation TV streaming service that will debut later this year.

They ALL want to be your MAIN living room device. Plain and simple.

The Xbox might be CONSIDERED as one now, but that doesn't mean it succeeds as one. It is KNOWN to be a gaming console, but it isn't completely considered one now. Also, of course Sony has the same plan, but it isn't their bigger focus.

Well.. You didn't say succeed (And we don't really have hard numbers on that, but new apps keep getting released by Media companies).. Point was.. The Xbox 360 is JUST as much a media device.. even MORE so right now then the Xbox One (since the X1 doesn't support WIndows Media Center like the X360)... Plus the X360 has about 3x as many MEDIA apps..  

With SONY going all in with a PlayStation TV streaming service.. that is a HUGE focus, and a HUGE undertaking..  SO I don't agree at all about it not being a major focus. If SONY succeeds , it would be the FIRST major blow to cable companies..  that is HUGE.

Then we'll find out soon enough, I guess. Sometimes we all just have to disagree at one point.
