Also, this is a 2006 Xbox 360 problem, not a 2014 Xbox One problem. Hi, Microsoft, I have a computer in my pocket. If I'm watching tv, just send me a notification to that. Chances are I'm on it if I'm on the couch anyway.
to be fair, i think they do realize that and smartglass does just that..
Console + TV in one is still better than having to switch inputs. Also, with SmartGlass, Microsoft will probably do very interesting things combining your phone + tv + Xbox.
