One the the main reasons people like consoles over the PC is because you can avoid the hassle of trying to do all that shyt with the PC. It's not as easy as just plugging in the box and go.
It's more because its extra. I'm going to have the game console already so why buy the HTPC if the game console can perform those features?
People like consoles over PC mainly because they don't understand the advantages to them over consoles. Basically, hyping up the One for these extras and ignoring PC is just settling for less.
And for the 2nd quote, a console can't out perform a damn PC in multimedia.
