I have a sneaking suspicion that this has far less to do with games and more about getting a piece of the movie and music business. Streaming tech never works that well for gaming even if you have wired connections and lets face it there is a reason why in most homes your router is at your gaming PC. Most homes are virtually all wireless now. However, streaming works fine for non gaming media and makes companies a boat load of money.
They need a way to get their user base off the computer desk so they can leverage it for other markets. Answer: Create a lot of hype over a problem very few actually have to convince everybody they need another TV box solution. On the positive side I feel they may be able to provide the added pressure to the content producers that Netflix and Hulu alone are having trouble with.
