There are a lot of reasons that this makes sense for them. But also, given the other things they've been promising, I think this is going to be an expensive piece of hardware that basically just hides Windows under the hood.

"Xbox Prime"

Bullshit. Microsft backed away when challenged over naming a product "SkyDrive", there's no way they'd step on Amazon's dick like this.

Might as well say they're calling it "iGame" or "iBox".

I dunno that the "Prime" name is that hard to get. If a couple of YouTubers can name their energy drink "Prime" and get away with it, then I imagine Microsoft wouldn't have much trouble using it.

Energy drink isn't operating in the same tech space though.
