Everybody who thinks the Xbox One makes no sense is clearly determined not to understand.

My WIFE is fine with turning on the tv through a video game console. Even -I- did not see that coming. Some people who like video games DO care about TV, netflix, ted talks, etc.

Or they are realistic since it makes no sense, not yet atleast. 

My tv does netflix etx, why do i need a 500 cable box add on for ? my cable box destroys the X1s tv features and streaming entertaiment, and why would i want to run it through my x1 degrading my picture.  Whats the real point of running two boxes to do what one does perfectly fine.  Voice controls, they work for me less then half the time could be my accent but if i have issues so will others.  And there nothing better then screming multiple times at your tv to change the channels.

Total BS. How does it degrade your picture? The fact that the X1 works WITH your cable box by HDMI passthrough IS one of its features.

Total reality, just casue its a feature mean means its perfect.  Nor does you wanting it to be great and perfect mean any one else will experience the same thing. 

avsforum had plenty whining about it, read the verge review they have a write up on X1s shortcomings when running a cable box through it.
