The bulk of your argument seems to boil down to "video calls on TV, much wow". This is not brilliant, or new. My kids were doing that on the Wii U in 2012. Probably at least a third of all conference rooms in America are equipped to do that.
Too much work to edit my comment on my phone. Obviously the Wii U chat only enabled communication with a limited audience, and I think it might be deprecated now anyway. But the Kinect does Skype.
