TV is a convenience that can be met with dozens of other products. That's why the gaming portion of a home console is the most important.

When someone buys a Jeep, they might spend far more hours on the highway than off-road but the reason they bought a Jeep in the first place is because of the off-road capacity. Otherwise they could have simply bought a normal car.

That is an excellent analogy.

Thanks.  I mean, a Roku box costs, what, $100?  That means they're paying that +$200 for a gaming console for a reason.  

Usage time does not translate directly into a standard value-per-unit, either.  Ten hours playing Bloodborne might have more value to a particular consumer than twenty hours watching Sabrina The Teenage Witch out of boredom.  Personally, I mostly watch stuff when I'm taking a break or when I'm having a meal.
