But the OP isn't complaining about the market. He's complaining about the Xbox One not being a gaming-focused device. And that's not fair if the entire market is moving away from gaming-only devices.
- marshray 13y agoWell this an interesting discussion: is "the entire market moving away from gaming-only devices"? Personally, I think it's a mistake to simplify the market like that. Yes, our family uses our Xbox 360 to watch many hours of Netflix. But that's just because it happens to be plugged in to the shared TV. The Playstation or any number of other devices in our house (even weensy little tablet CPUs) can also play Netflix just fine. If we played PS3 games more, we'd go back to watching Netflix and DVDs there. It's not because we "want our Xbox to be a more general entertainment device", it's simply a technically incidental task that's barely worth plugging in an additional device for. Many consoles can play DVDs as well as games, but should DVD playback drive the evolution of consoles?
