You're referring to the current version of Apple TV. I don't think there were ever claims of gaming domination, but casual couch games.

I still wind up playing a little Crossy Road while I decide what movie to watch.

There were. Most tech sites were even predicting it as being highly competitive with Sony / MS / Nintendo. It was supposed to take Nintendo's market share.

I have doubts. I don't recall that kind of hype, and my connection is being temperamental.

Huh. I'm okay with being wrong. Apple TV's always been kinda niche in my mind. Guess it never really broke out of that.

Mine's decent enough for watching my iTunes collection and serving as a HomeKit hub.

Remember when Apple's userbase put their phones in their microwaves in an attempt to charge them.
