I can agree with a service, i just don't agree that it will be inside TVs only. I still think there will be a box you buy separately so like that, it'll work on all TVs and devices, not just the manufacturers who signed a deal with Sony and MS. You want to maximize sales and that means having it work with as much hardware as possible. Not just the hardware your launching the console with. If anything, the Xbox glass thing is more of a look into the future than incorporating consoles into a specific type of TV.
I'm going to kind of dart of course a bit, then come back all relevant I swear. ha
I can see this happening maybe not in 10 years, but 15 maybe 20:
*Walk into carrier store*
-Customer buys a device, I'm going to go with Window's Phone to stay relevant. Phone now has insane steraming speeds with new tech.
-Clerk asks what service's would you like?
-For music? Pandora+ (let's say if you pay you can pick songs and make playlists now)
-For Movies? Netflix
-For Tv shows? Hulu
-For Live TV service? DirectTV
-For games? Xbox Games Service
That'll be $250 a month and $20 fee for the all-in-one device.
BUT thats your Xbox Live fee, cable, Netflix, and Hulu all rolled into one fee.
AND there are apps you can log into on all devices with our "app" or whatever it is called that lets you do all this on your tv with you account info. And there is your Xbox OS that we have now.
Don't have a tv that does that? Your device or phone can stream or plug right into your tv. And a controller that is about $60 wirelessly connects to your phone to play.
I see it happening.
