And yet Chromecast is a hit (#2 in all Electronics on Amazon).

It is also cheap. I bet many are now sitting unused in drawers.

So cheap that I almost bought one on impulse, until I realized that I have no idea what I'd do with it. I'm sure a lot of people don't make it to that second step until after they click the "buy" button.

I can't imagine doing without one. What's do you use to stream arbitrary content to a big screen?

I have an Apple TV and an Xbone. Between the two I stream everything I care to stream, as well as anything on the local NAS. I'm not saying the Chromecast isn't useful, it's just not useful to me considering what I've already purchased. IOW, in my case Google was late to the game.
