I think what will be key in getting more market penetration will be involvement from bigger-name manufacturers. If Dell put out a HTPC form-factored gaming rig sold as a Steambox, I think it'd be a hit. Xi3 doesn't really have the visibility to make this a hit, but I think there are companies out there that would have the kind of marketing power and economies of scale to have this be a big deal - think Samsung when they started really pushing Android phones.
