I linked that in my reply to your last post, and it STILL has Chinese as most spoken. In 1997 and 2010. Yes 1 column out of 4 listed (one old) as English first. But all three columns are in close number of difference for how abstract this is. (261 dif, 151 dif, 138 dif)

From The Link; emphasis mine:

These are lists of languages by the number of first and second language speakers. However, particularly because of large uncertainties in estimating the number of secondary speakers, all such lists should be used with caution. In particular, the lists below should be seen as tentative.

give you a random list of who knows who sites. One had Spanish as second above English below Chinese, but I am not saying I trust those random sources. I guess the argument is mute at this point than. The most official data is 3 years old.

I think that we kind of agree. It is easy. And your right, no one has explained it. I think that is partly my point, I do it with DVI. DVI is just as easy IMHO. But no matter how easy it is, people aren't doing it. MS doesn't care most likely though, they get you to buy the xbox one, and a computer, maybe even a tablet. If you only buy one, they still got that much money.

Now, yes an OEM like tell marketing a pc ready to hook to the tv will bring it closer. I think isn't the steam box something like this though?

You can read all of this for yourself, there are a ton of details here, but still some questions. If I'm sharing a game with a family member, can we play against each other online? Imagine being able to buy one copy of the latest Halo, and family members get to play co-op or competitive games against you from their own systems. Pretty nifty. This is something that made me think. We would have to buy two consoles, but could me and my fiance really play games together again?
