Xbox One, PS4, Chromecast, home entertainment and gaming

Why Million-Console Debuts Don't Guarantee Success for Xbox One and PS4 - Businessweek: "....the companies are betting that people will be willing to pay a large premium for much more powerful, cinematic gaming experiences. But they’re also packing in digital entertainment options that extend beyond gaming. The idea is that to justify a price tag of $400 (Playstation) or $500 (XBox One), people will need something that also serves as a portal for Internet video. This could be a challenge, given that the most popular video streaming devices cost less than $100...."

Ever hear of Chromecast? It costs $35 and plugs into your TV. It runs on Android. With Chromecast, Android is a home entertainment platform. Android is also a gaming platform.

Would you rather spend $35 or $400-500?

Merry Christmas!
