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.

Yes, but 'some' is not really enough.

Hahahaha! You think that people who crouch on internet forums declaiming not to like anything other than video games are more numerous than well-rounded people who like video games AND watching television/netflix? Are you serious?!?! HAHAHAHAHA

take ps3/x360 install base and compare number of netflix subscribers to non subscribers and you have your answer (psst,  a larger portion use consoles fir games only)  and why is this exactly? 

 

here i'll tell you. 

cable boxes are better,  tivos and similar can actually record shows, the people that want tv AND games simply turn off thier console and,  as luck woukd have it,  the tv features there were there all along,  still are there. 

Not sure why you are using Netflix as your measurement.  I am sure if you used all of the media apps and othe features of the PS3 and 360 it would show that people on those consoles use a lot of those features and may even clock in more time doing things other than gaming.  With my family its probably more media than games as far as hours go but thats because the whole family use the media feautures and only a few play games.
