Chime in: Does Xbox One still hold up as a video and music machine?

Four years after launch, is the Xbox One still a viable all-in-one entertainment system for the home?

Back when the Xbox One first launched back in 2013, Microsoft set out to conquer the living room with a dedicated set of features tailored for non-gaming content. While at the time this was to diversify the Xbox One's reach, the move also shifted focus away from gaming and the Xbox One stumbled from the top sales position against arch rival Sony.

However, nearly four years have passed since its launch and some significant changes have been made to the Xbox One vision. Live TV integration, 4K Blu-ray playback, media apps and more are still integrated into the ecosystem, but the brand's marketing almost exclusively drives games in 2017.

We've seen a few people kicking off this discussion in recent weeks on the Windows Central forums, with questions surrounding the media apps available on Xbox One. Now that the Xbox One's focus no longer rests on its ubiquity, how is Microsoft's promise of an "all-in-one" entertainment system truly holding up?
