That's cool. Problem is that Microsoft is charging $500 for something gamers (their target audience) are not happy with.
Other folks will look at this like

but i already have a roku/appletv/something else that i watch tv on and didn't cost me $500

This was kinda what I was thinking.
Sure the X1 has these cool features, hell the 360 has a lot of cool features too, but I doubt those were selling points to anyone that bought one and I see the same thing happening with the X1.
Lets be real, X1 is a gaming console at its core and it's going to be extremely hard for MS to break that stigma from the broader audience that they are trying to sell to.
Unless the X1 can do something NEW, BETTER and CHEAPER then what people already have in their homes I doubt any of this will be a selling point.
Ill give you an example: The PS3's Blu-Ray
NOW THAT IS A SELLING POINT.
It was NEW - Blu-Ray were just coming out.
It was BETTER - Blu-Ray + Gaming System
It was CHEAPER - Cheaper then any other standalone blu-ray player at the time.
People were buying PS3's for the Blu-Ray ALONE!!!
Hell my

grandparents bought one just for that.
Hopefully y'all can see where I going with this.
PS3 1up'd them then and they're about to 1up them now.
EDIT: Also MS thought HD DVD was the future and we all know what happened there
