AppleTV hasn't been a priority for Apple, it's just a little accessorie product they make on the side of their main business. And they've still sold quite a few of them. Steve Jobs in particular never really cared much for the game market and that's likely why Apple doesn't view it as a priority. If they really wanted to, don't kid yourself though, they would make Sony/MS/Nintendo sweat seriously and they would certainly get a massive amount of developer support. EA, Square-Enix, Activision, etc. all those companies would jump all over a real dedicated Apple living room media/game console, they're already all over the iOS platform. The reason why Apple is priming the AppleTV for a bigger place in the product catalog now is they are moving into the digital TV distribution business, a streaming Apple tv service is coming next year apparently, and that means AppleTV is going to have to take a bigger role. So you'll probably see a much larger push for AppleTV this fall whereas before there wasn't really anything. |
Your living in a fairy land. Apple usually fails or meets with mediocre success at most markets they enter, people just tend to forget that due to a few runaway successes, they have just had some very VERY big successes to over shadow there abundant failures. You only have to look at the recent iwatch to see a dismal failure despite the massive hype and investment from apple. Apple TV has been mediocre at best, then you have stuff like apple maps and the list goes on and on. even if Apple decided they wanted a big slice of the console pie it would take years and years to even get to a competitive status let alone dominate, gamers are also very particular caring more for games than apples approach of less features and function but clean interface.
