| Soundwave said: I think the new AppleTV will have a relative amount of success. From the numbers we've seen, the current old AppleTV already sells about 6 million units a year. That's far more than the Wii U and about the same as the XBox One already. The new model will likely bump that up to 8-9 million a year, the game app market will probably start a little slow, but in 2 years ... who knows. By then the hardware for AppleTV could be much more powerful too (Apple A10 or A11 chip?). |
Having read through almost all of the posts to this thread, you seam to be the only person using common sense in their reply.
I agree that Apple isn't going to outsell the PS4 in the next year. I also agree that this will take some time. I own a 3 year old apple TV. I think it was a great buy at the time. Now, I hardly use it as most of the features are built into my TV's already. BUT, a newer version will have my interest at some point if it offered more functionality. THis coming version is not it, but like you said, maybe 2-3 years from now it will finally have enough capability to buy it again.
I doubt that it will fully replace consoles in the near term, but it is obvious that consoles will eventually be a very niche market. That is when things like the Apple TV will really shine.
It is near the end of the end....
