That's kind of true...
The original X-Box was codenamed Homestation and was intended to be the entertainment hub of the home. At somepoint during development, probably when MS realised that the network infrstructure for such a device was still many years off, MS reduced the scope of the Homestation and gave us what we now know as the X-Box.
The original Homestation premise (i.e. Entertainment hub) is being resurrected for X-Box2/new Homestation...
So with this in mind we are both correct!
As a side point, I cannot see MS releasing something called 'Homestation' as I would imagine SONY would jump all over them for the similarity to Playstation...
