Again Xbox as a platform was the 2nd go at making the "Media Center PC" be the main box for your living Room, now when your talking streaming for the Living Room SmartTV and Mobile are the Main choice for streaming entertainment in the living room..not a media center PC.

 

I doubt very much the Media Center PC will or is ever going to replace the console before the streaming box's or SmartTV does it 1st.

Please explain why people wouldn't want a PC under their TV.

Also the places that only have dial-up and satellite have other problems on their head then gaming.

And the Xbox project was failed. Bill Gates wanted to bring the full Windows 95/98 exprience to the living room. But for whatever reason, the Original Xbox couldn't run it.

Have never understood this statement, either.  I highly doubt people don't want a PC under their TV, they just don't know how and have little desire to look into it.  The benefit would be quite high, though.
