And the Xbox Series X and S are arguably the first Xbox consoles that are even remotely viable as living room streaming media set-top boxes.Īs I’ve noted in the past, using an Xbox One of any kind to watch Netflix or Hulu is like driving an 18-wheeler to the McDonald’s drive-through when you’re in the mood for a snack: It’s the wrong tool for the job, an inefficient monster of a device that is optimized for playing high-speed 3D games. But it shouldn’t be so gun shy: Sony is actively promoting the multimedia capabilities of its PlayStation 5 consoles and even has a new media remote. Because of the failure of its strategy to position Xbox One seven years ago as an all-in-one entertainment device, Microsoft is taking a different tack with Xbox Series X|S.
