Why are people talking about entertainment boxes being the next big market? Smart TVs are going to make them absolutely useless. I keep trying to find cheap TVs for rooms in my house and all I can find are smart tv this and smart tv that. Whoever makes the TVs will be the ones calling the shots in the living room not Chromecast or Amazon Fire whatever.

I'm inclined to agree. Someone said it earlier, but I think the war for control of all our media content went in a completely different direction than Sony and Microsoft foresaw, and now the manufacturers of the televisions themselves are helping to ensure that there will be even less and less need for entertainment boxes in general.
