The PS4 already has competition with the XBox One and soon enough, the NX.

 

This Apple TV will be a niche among the niche.


Yet the AppleTV is already crushing Wii U sales since 2012 and selling about on par with the XBox One. And this is with the old model and Apple barely supporting it/throwing any marketing behind it. 

It's not a threat to Sony because it's clearly not going after the same audience, but saying it's a niche device is just stupid. It very easily could end up outselling the XBox One and it will certainly outsell the Wii U easily. 


Of course it has the chance to outsell any console this gen, Look at the cost. This thing needs to be compared to other products on the market, Fire TV etc.. and with that, nope it will be stuck in it's ecosystem full of games that can be played on any smartphone. Didn't the Oculus Rift creators state that Mac products can barely run a VR device? that should give insight to how capable these things really are.

PC products push the limits, and early adopters accept a high rate of failure to have their toes hang off the edge of technology. Apple products play it safe, and make their products enjoyable for the biggest technophobe. Most people besides creators need any apple product, because they are a boutique item, they sell well to any person unwiiling to learn about PC's or are scared of technology.
