I've wondered if Apple might buy Nintendo someday. Gaming consoles are a difficult business. Xbox has managed to stick with it. Playstation has faltered and recovered. Nintendo would be in a scary situation if not for Pokemon Go. 

I actually think the demise of Aereo might have killed off some very interesting possibilities for Apple TV. It would have been so cool to see an Apple TV that could also act as a cloud-based DVR for local broadcast TV.

Re: a content platform for every show
Apple can't ride on the iPhone revenues forever. That should be obvious. The Apple watch isn't going to save Apple, either. So it's Apple TV or Apple Car... 

I really wonder if Apple is going to release a car in the next 10 years. Or if it just plans to sit back for a bit and try to buy Tesla again....

Hmm? Apple is slowing getting into the original programming business -- first with Apple Music. I think Apple Music is Apple's testbed for what it's going to do with video. Apple is experimenting with Apple Music streaming, and I think video streaming will follow, along with a monthly subscription service, just like Hulu/Netflix/etc.

Apple is certainly taking its time figuring out how to do streaming, but I'm sure with $200Billion in cash lying around, that it will figure it out. The problem, which you point out, is that Apple already has a robust app ecosystem doing similar things, and it could be risky for Apple to step on too many toes. Apple could scare off developers from iOS (or tvOS), and that's exactly what it can't afford to do with Android waiting to pounce.

Re: a content platform for every show
@dcawrey - Original content is definitely a driver. As a parent, I actually enjoy that both Netflix and Amazon have a decent variety of original kids shows to choose from too. And they are of really decent quality too. It's nice to be able to offer my kids a variety of shows. Even though they'll watch the same episodes of Paw Patrol over and over, they definitely don't pay as close attention once they've seen it a million times.

@mhhf1ve yes, many gamers would buy into idea of Apple tv as a gaming consule, and it would make great sense as long as Apple allow other non Apple controllers to get connected to Apple tv....
