That was part of Microsoft's pitch - they wanted it to be the central device. I was in the minority that thought it was a great idea at the time, but then I'd been running a dedicated Windows Media Center PC under the TV for years until that point, so to me it was a shinier upgrade.

    That makes sense. These days it sounds like a much better proposition to people, hell my wife and I recently built a batocera pi that she wanted for retro gaming, but I wanted as a TV box for kodi and jellyfin once I get it working. And that use case is the one that makes the steam box sound tempting.

    Funny enough, while I'd taken issue with that aspect of the xbone, I'd fairly quickly started using my 360 thst way.
