Who Will Win the Home Entertainment Battle?

Apple TV is a huge flop! Isn't it kind of chump to state that? I don't find it chump at all to spend $230 to watch $4 HD movies, YouTube clips, TV shows, IPhoto etc on the big screen - all done without the need for yet another hulking and expensive DVD-DVR box alongside the existing Sat TV DVR and audio CD player. And why do I need DVD's and CD's anyway? With Apple TV and iTunes that silly cabinet stuffed with silly discs has gone the way of the Dodo - at least in my house.

What more do you want?

Apple needs work, yes. And it will get it over time that will keep it ahead of other options.

The use of a gaming console most often found lying on the living room carpet or in the kid's bedroom next to a towering DVD/CD cabinet cabled across the floor to the TV that must have a TV-tuner equipped PC - everyone has one of those - right? - is hugely chump.

Apple's iTunes: Rapid Sales Acceleration

The future added ingredient here is Apple TV Games. I mean real people ones, sophisticated, insightful, challenging contests that are in our near future. Think of downloading one of those suckers for an evenings pleasure! And with box and software integrated into your widescreen TV. No lifting our that mess of boxes and cables to be strewn across the living room floor.
