I did not miss either of those facts. In the context of this article I focused on the feature set that comes with either the Nexus Q or Apple TV right out of the box. From day one, the Nexus Q requires an Android device to control it, Apple supplies a simple remote with the Apple TV. Yes, iOS devices makes for a better remote, but certainly isn’t required.

As for games on the Apple TV, I was referring to native support in this piece. However, you are totally correct that games can be displayed on your television set via the Apple TV, an iOS device, and AirPlay. To me though, this solution is a world away from native support.

Did he also miss that you can already play games on the Apple TV through the use of an iOS device. It will display while using the device as the controller. Check out Air Superiority as a reference. Needed to do a bit more research…
