Why? Why would they want to get involved in that market?

  Because Amazon and Apple are dipping their toes into that pool and Google is playing catch-up on the set-top-box market instead of leading. They sell games. They sell hardware on which people play games. They sell a set-top device that plays games. But they don't sell an actual controller for that device.

    All of those are, arguably, markets that are distracting them from their core competency.

      But they dip into all markets. Someone said they are a "me too!" company that hurriedly adds products in a particular market area, then abandon maintenance of it after a while. Their core competency is marketing / search / ads, so I suppose the entire Android system and any hardware could be considered a side show? BTW, I am a happy Android user (other than Maps and Talk, which have gone down the toilet).
