TV was just a early way to differentiate it from the PS4 at that E3.  Are there many real ads/commercials for the Xbox One that focus more on TV than on games?

Games are what sell this machine. Games are what distinguish and define it compared to other devices.

I don't even know if the Xbox One is or isn't a fully functioning standalone cable box replacement, but I do know that Xbox One plays games because I see tons of ads showing me those games.  

Your narrative was about being a dedicated gaming machine... It isn't, just that... it play games, but for several people, and for MS at that E3 that didn't even seem their main focus.

I wasn't even talking about the Xbox One originally, I just responded to someone who brought it up.

When I said "gaming dedicated device" I meant that the device's main purpose and its main selling feature should be games. 

I later responded:

"Xbox One is a gaming focused device though, that is its main purpose and its main selling feature."

Still, Xbox One is designed to be a games machine first and foremost and that's what it does best (even with its other features.)

And games are why the vast majority of people buy the machine.

A single E3 is not going to change that fact because E3 in not how MS sells the Xbox One to the general public.

Ok then.
