People already have an “all-in-one” entertainment device in their homes that does everything from TV, movies, music, games… it’s called a computer (of any kind!)

Any company that thinks it’s going to find a “solution” for a device to dominate the living room needs to realize that people don’t spend any time in their living rooms any more, it’s not the 90s where the whole house gathers around “the good TV” to watch the Simpsons AS it airs. None of those things are true any more. People have much greater freedom of entertainment today, and they don’t want a game console parading as a cable box/shitty computer to route their media alongside poorly configured menus, ads AND subscriptions fees.

I wonder if the companies are aware that they are engaged in tunneling beneath the already-shaky foundations upon which their corporate monoliths precariously totter.
