Most people will simply evaluate this on the fact that Apple TV is $150. But if you want streaming, Chromecast/Fire/Roku are $35 and for streaming + high-end gaming, PS4/XBone are $250. The pricing of Apple TV makes no sense at all among the competition.
- roc 10y agoIt would make perfect sense if they'd bundled a controller (and/or made it more straightforward to have ipads/ipods/phones usable as controllers) and put an A8X in it. It would've been the middle ground. Not just streaming, but not as hardcore as an XBox/PS4 (which weren't $250 when the AppleTV launched.) The big mis-step of the 4th gen AppleTV is that they didn't pick any direction for it. It's a bit like the first-gen Watch. They just threw a bunch of crap at the wall and expected the early adopters to sift through it.
