    I remember they were really selling it as a media center in their pitches. It’s interesting how they fucked that up. Streaming was still taking off, everyone was about to give voice activated personal assistants / spy devices to their relatives for Christmas.

    If Microsoft had been smarter and sold it as a ‘this has all the streaming apps on it’, they probably could have had some Wii like success with cordcutters

      hmm idk, that were competing with other products coming out at that time doing the same this for way less money. chrome cast, apple tv, Amazon fire stick, etc… a $100+ device already seemed like a tough tough sell to me in that market when the apple tv was that much, but that’s just the apple tax…
