Sony has only sold 75 million PS4's since it was released (https://www.businessinsider.com/ps4-playstation-4-lifetime-s...). Apple sells almost that many iPhones in a good quarter.
TVs are big and bulky and have something like an 8 year replacement cycle.
Not to mention PlayStation Vue could become Apple Vue.
At the end of the day, PS Vue doesn’t offer anything compelling enough to acquire. A few subscribers and a bunch of licensing deals to broadcast TV over the Internet. Apple could get the same deals as Sony, Sling, Directv, Hulu, etc. Cable networks aren’t exactly being stingy about licensing.
Apple’s Watch business will probably do better than that 5 years from introduction. It’s probably more profitable.
Exactly. TVs are basically furniture.
