So is your argument that entire reaction has been a vocal minority?
You seem (again, AFAICT) to make the very dangerous assumption that people bought it for streaming media, or, more importantly would buy it for streaming media/social experience, instead of buying it for games and just spend a lot of time vegging out.
The fact that one spends more time using the box to watch streaming media than playing games really doesn't tell you much. It doesn't mean that's what people want to use the box for, it just means it may have been convenient for that purpose. It's primary purpose in most households has been, at least AFAIK, to play games. The fact that it does netflix just makes it nice.
I don't think most houses would buy it the other way around, and that's how they messaged it:
Something great and amazing at social media experience, that also plays games.
