Simple Way to Stream iTunes Videos to Xbox One

It's been a full year since Microsoft and Sony unveiled their new generation consoles, the Xbox One and PS4, and now it's time to reassess their places in the market. Without the fierce competition of PS4, Xbox one’s sales record would look fairly healthy during last year. So far, over six million gamers have bought into the Xbox One philosophy, which would be a really quite impressive number were it not for the PS4's frankly incredible record-breaking tally of 13 million.

Regardless of the above data, Xbox One is a pretty good game console which has a slightly better roster of exclusive games going into 2015 compared to that of the PS4. Meanwhile, it’s also a clever and powerful media player. Given it can also works as a media player, people will ask that if it’s possible to stream iTunes DRM protected videos to Xbox one.
