Google TV was supposed to be the Apple TV killer. (verdict's still out, wait until next week)”
........
I think I've made my point. Apple is still #1 in all of those categories&rdquo

Ahem..Microsoft's XBOX 360 easily smokes the perpetually slacking Apple TV in any department you care to compare them, including sales, performance, ability to play AAA games, TV programs/movies available etc, and domination of living rooms..
And in case you forgot, Android smarphones vastly outsell the iPhone worldwide.

“Microsoft’s XBOX 360 easily smokes”

That’s true...overheating issues with the Xbox have firmly established it as a pile of junk in many folk’s minds.

The PS3, with Blu-ray and free network play, is a much better idea. :-)

For folks who don’t mind a kid-styled toy in their video room, the Xbox might be a fine option - if the PS3 didn’t exist.

I have a feeling that Apple TV will make a comeback sometime soon... ;-)

I don't disagree, and I'm excited about the new features Microsoft announced at E3, though I don't have a 360. However, the XBox 360 was released 2 years before the Apple TV and can largely be considered a totally separate industry, though some of their features overlap. I do love my Apple TV for its AirPlay functionality, Apple Remote app and integration with my existing iTunes library, though.

And in case you forgot, Android smarphones vastly outsell the iPhone worldwide.

It's not "vastly," and no one manufacturer can claim victory. Only Samsung comes close, and the number of times an individual phone has been declared an iPhone "killer," it has never came to fruition, even remotely. Though the latest attempt is the Galaxy S III, we'll see how that goes. As I said, only Samsung has gotten close.

Bicycles outsell automobiles world wide. What is you point?
