Much has been said of Apple's "Hey Siri" event this past week, where the Cupertino giant unveiled new phones, tablets and its latest living room product.
The iPad Pro can easily be described as Apple's competitor to the Surface, but it's the Apple TV that received probably the biggest update with the addition of apps and games. And with it, the Apple TV enters into Microsoft and Sony territory in the home entertainment center.
I'll be up front with this. I don't think the Apple TV is in any way a console killer. I also don't think the Apple TV represents too much of a concern for Microsoft, or indeed Sony, at this time. Apple's move into TV-based gaming isn't a direct challenge to the console makers, more an inevitability that's taken longer than many would argue it should have.
