On Tuesday night, The Wall Street Journal confirmed that Google would indeed unveil some hardware to launch Android TV. This would give the company a set-top box platform to fight against Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Roku, and other devices. The hardware to be unveiled at Google I/O will carry not Google’s name or branding. Instead, another manufacturer is stepping forward to lead the way for Android TV.
Google will be following a familiar path by constructing a platform for hardware manufacturers to take advantage of. But we would not count out Google going ahead and designing its own hardware at least once or twice to show everyone how things should be done. A source also says that games will be the focus for Android TV and Google would like to have a seamless gaming experience from Android TV to its other form factors.
