There are two answers, both in corporate speak advertising, and the other answer being based in reality, to the question of is the xbox a general purpose living room computer appliance or is it a hard core (aka only first person shooters) gamer platform? Nobody really knows. Observationally "regular folks" play games on their phones, tablets, wii, not xbox, vs "real gamers" have $3000 gamer PCs with gamer mice and multiple $750 graphics cards and overclocked CPUs and water cooling. I guess someone could aim for the non-lucrative market in between...
