Sony's Latest Play for Your Living Room [View article]
"None of these have really taken off--largely because each option only has a sliver of content."
On what basis do you believe they have not taken off? From tracking order numbers, we know that the Netflix Roku box sold over 50,000 units within 2-3 weeks, and it is believed they sold over 100,000 before they hit supply difficulties. They have ~ 10,000 titles ready for instant viewing on your TV at no additional cost to the NFLX subscription. I don't call that a "sliver" of content.
Having said that, I agree Sony is late to the game here, and the PS3 has not sold that well, so this may be too little, too late. However, I do think it is a good, strong move to make.
