The NYT report said Apple TV might not be as good as the Xbox or Play station, or have very powerful graphics, or be good enough for complicated high-end games, but the TV might shine in a living room.
The report quotes Jan Dawson, chief analyst at the technology research firm Jackdaw Research, as saying: “What the Apple TV has the potential to do is to bring casual gaming to the living room and make it a much more social activity.”
