Weniger als 1 Million GoogleTV-Geräte in Gebrauch

Janko Röttgers errechnet die GoogleTV-Zahlen anhand der Downloadzahlen vorinstallierter Apps für NewTeeVee:

But how many of Logitech’s Revue boxes and Sony’s Google TV devices are actually being used by consumers? The answer is less than a million, according information hidden in Google’s own data. Also interesting: Logitech’s Revue set-top box makes up more than half of those devices.

Im Vergleich dazu Apples ‚Hobby‘ und das WebTV-Startup Roku:

Apple has sold 4.2 million Apple TV units, and Roku — despite missing its own sales goals — was able to sell 2.5 million boxes by the end of last year.

Man kann also ruhigen Gewissens bei GoogleTV bisher von einem sagenhaften Flop reden.
