You are correct on this. From what I understand, it isn't doing so well revenue wise for them either.

And, you are correct most people don't watch movies on their computer. Apple TV is somewhat convient, the XBOX 360 is way more convienent (already attached to the TV).
I just read in TV predictions that only about 30% of XBOX360 owners are hooked up to HDTV's. They also stated that only 15% are hooked up to a 5.1 sound system. Those figures are going to have to rise considerable if XBOX live is going to grow in the future, and get the studio to release more content to it.

Interestingly enough, just today Sony announced that its going to be launching a service in 2008 to 'rival' Itunes, and Live. We shall see how that works, but it appears Sony is going to try and leverage its many divisions into one unified "network".
I think it is smart. They have a movie studio, Universal Music is a BR exclusive supporter as is Disney and Fox, I am sure Warner would want to have access to the 3 million PS3 out there. We'll see how that works out.
