No one here has argued otherwise....CandyCrush doesn’t exactly provide a Horizon Zero Dawn experience.
And there are very many customers who aren't interested in a "Horizon Zero Dawn experience."

It does have both, just like the current Siri remote has:Guessing it would have both. You need IR for most TV’s but the ATV works off of BT.
And those people are not serious gamers. They are casual gamers.No one here has argued otherwise.

Which the existing hardware is more than adequate for.And those people are not serious gamers. They are casual gamers.
Pairing new Siri remote 2021.
I know this is a little ahead of time since orders start on April 30. When I get the new Siri remote how do I pair it with my old Apple TV 4K? I am wondering what settings I go to in Apple TV 4k to switch from the black old Siri remote to the new Siri Remote 2021?
I believe I saw this option in settings under remote once. Sorry I already got rid of mine (in anticipation for a new release). But this shouldn’t be a problem. The guide will be enclosed with the new remote.

😂 You have your view as to what you think a gaming platform should be and I have mine. I prefer to play games that are slightly more advanced than drawing a line through three diamonds to make them explode. You are cool with that.And in other news, water is wet. You’re completely missing the point. Apple isn’t marketing the AppleTV (or any of their products, ever) to “serious gamers.”
😂 you're wrong on so many fronts, with so many wrong assumptions. I have an Xbox One Series X as well as a PS5.I prefer to play games that are slightly more advanced than drawing a line through three diamonds to make them explode. You are cool with that.
For what it's worth, to mute on the current Siri remote, you could also loooong-press on the "volume down" buttonInstead when I want to mute I have to use the tv or soundbar remote.
So? They also have simple games. The thing is you’re not limited to them.😂 you're wrong on so many fronts, with so many wrong assumptions. I have an Xbox One Series X as well as a PS5.

Right, but they are also more expensive, require an entirely different type of support, are physically huge pieces of hardware, and are overkill for the gaming needs/desires of very many people with plenty of money to spend on content, regardless.So?

More expensive? A more powerful Series S is only $40-$60 more. An even more powerful PS5 is only $140-$160 more and both will last 6-7 years. AppleTV will have gone through 2-3 iterations by then.Right, but they are also more expensive, require an entirely different type of support, are physically huge pieces of hardware, and are overkill for the gaming needs/desires of very many people with plenty of money to spend on content, regardless.
That Apple isn’t even intending to compete in the console gaming space makes a lot of sense. Your arguments suggesting otherwise do not.
only $140-$160 more
Are you arguing that the AppleTV is a better gaming system than the Series S?i.e. "almost double the price"
It also requires an entirely different type of support, is a physically tremendous piece of hardware, and is overkill for the gaming needs/desires of very many people with plenty of money to spend on content, regardless.
Of course not.Are you arguing that the AppleTV is a better gaming system than the Series S?
Ah, it is just weird saying that the Series S is overkill for the kinds of gaming most people want, when you can’t really guarantee folks are buying the AppleTV to play games at all. You can be sure that someone buying a Series S will buy at least 1 game (or use Gamepass) since that is the stated purpose of the system. The other stuff it can do (media) is just icing on the cake (this is probably IMO).Of course not.
(this is probably IMO).
Yeah this is a bonehead stupid move by Apple. Again. Last Siri remote was hot garbage and this one swaps out the maggots for gnat larvae. Another example of Steve’s legacy. (Hardware) Products passed thru his hands before hitting the market. No one up top is a products and design person and it shows. Embarrassingly so.Wow, Apple. That makes this AppleTV a complete non-starter. I've been waiting since last August (when I got a new 4K TV) for a new AppleTV. My daughters play both a tennis game and Just Dance on the AppleTV. Both require a controller with an accelerometer. Just Dance will allow second, third, and fourth players to use their iPhone (and its accelerometer) to dance along, but the first person must still use the regular remote. This is a significant omission.I will be continuing to wait for the gaming-focused AppleTV.
My daughter does Just Dance often, esp. on inclimate days during her breaks from remote schooling. They get my 10.99 every quarter (or 70% perhaps? Maybe 85%?). So it becomes real money for someone. The swipe-a-holic Siri remote is still garbage on a stick, but this new one now makes that garbage into a bag of poo…. On a stick. Useless and embarrassing.This is devastating news for the twelve people in the world who do gaming on their ATV.
