Robert W. Baird analyst Colin Sebastian (via Gamespot ) has said that the Xbox One's range of multimedia applications and easy access to internet content, in addition to its ability to play games, make it a more attractive solution than what Apple and Google are currently offering. Sebastian was, of course, comparing the new console with Apple TV and Google TV, which allow users to stream content through a range of apps."Overall, we were impressed with the platform and believe that Microsoft has largely achieved its goal of creating a compelling living room entertainment hub," said Sebastian. "Games we saw show improvements in graphics and performance over current generation, and multi-media capabilities that keep Microsoft ahead of Google and Apple (for now) in the living room with the integration of console quality gaming, web content, and traditional media."
