Seems the general audience (Playstation, Xbox and Nintendo Consoles) will not see it in the same way they see those consoles, I vote 'no'. The OUYA also didn't get trackes, so again: no IMO.

It never tracked the OUYA.



My vote: No, and no Ouja either. Also, no more Call of Duty tracking, it encourages people to buy those things



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Nobody will know how many Fire TVs sell, except Amazon.

Just as nobody knows how many Kindles sell, except Amazon.

No. It plays games, but it isn't a videogame, it only play games. VGC won't track the iPad, PCs and so on. The NVidia Shield and the Ouya would deserve more a spot here, but their low sales keep them away. Every gen we have consoles that come and simply won't make a scratch (Gizmodo) and they won't get a spot here.

The Fire TV is not even a gaming console so why should VGChartz track it? ಠ_ಠ

It's quite possible in the future a fully fledged android gaming console might become available with competitive performance. Arm chips are getting more powerful all the time, more competitive with other cpu architectures,

Allow me to repeat this answer in Spanish.  No.

Although the Kindle Fire TV is built as a gaming console that's more powerful than the Vita, so it may possibly get some quality games here and there.



There's no physical games that VGChartz can track (no way to track the downloads either), let alone the hardware problem in that only Amazon sells it and know the true figures.

So from a pure feasibility point of view, no.



Yeah Fire TV seems more like an "experiment" as far as gaming is concerned on it.
