Microsoft plans to launch a device similar to the new Apple TV

new-apple-tv

The arrival of the new Apple TV has shown that in a small device we can enjoy our favorite games without having to invest a large amount of money in a console like the Xbox or the PlayStation. Currently the App Store offers us a large number of games compatible with the new Apple TV that allow us to enjoy as if it were a console, such as Modern Combat 5: Blackout or the other FPS par excellence AfterPulse, but we can also enjoy racing games like Asphalt 8: Airborne or Real Racing 3. Only with these four games we can already see the quality that this device offers us in such a small size.

But the games available for the App Store cannot supply the quality offered by games designed specifically for consoles such as Xbox or PlayStation, so despite the fact that many people believe that it may be the end of the usual consoles, I seriously doubt that the players of mythical FPS games will change their consoles for an Apple TV. But from Microsoft it seems that they would be interested in launching a set-top-box similar to Apple TV, but because they think that it may be a possible competition for the Xbox, but because they see that it can become an important business, taking advantage of the latter Windows 10 version wants to centralize all applications in a single store, the Windows Store.

A couple of years ago in Redmond they considered the idea of ​​creating a set-top box but apparently the idea was discarded, as he did not finish seeing the future, but after the arrival of the new Apple TV and the possibilities it is offering to users, Satya Nadella seems to have put his team to work to take the project back, he has left two years and that they see the possibility that developers also bet on that platform to be able to offer games in the same way that Apple does on Apple TV.
