Google already has a semi-hit with Chromecast, a $35 dongle that allows you to stream the Internet and other services from your smartphone or tablet to your big screen TV.
Android TV – a separate device set-top device, or “micro-console” that streams content – is making a play for a portion of the gaming market. It’s not intended to replace a Sony PlayStation, but aimed at those who would opt for a cheaper console with much cheaper games.
It could even complement a larger gaming system. Android TV comes with a remote so you won’t need a tablet to run it. Google has tried this before, but with less powerful hardware and a less mature OS. It says it has learned a lot from the simplicity of Chromecast and is applying that to Android TV.
