I even wonder how long WD will keep supporting the Live Streaming (3rd Gen) now that WD TV Play is out. Amazon has stopped selling it. I hope we get a couple more firmware updates, but it wouldn’t surprise me if we don’t get any more.
Play isn’t a replacement to the WD TV SMP, it is a cheaper alternative that doesn’t offer the same features. This could mean a higher end version of the play might come out in the future but it could also represent a change in direction for WD and a simplication of there product lines, I also suspect a lot of the trouble of WD drvices comes from there higher features.
Of course it isn’t a replacement. Nobody stated otherwise. But that doesn’t mean that, like you said, WD could not take another direction.
