Apple TV has appeared on sale (including in Russia)

Today Apple launched its console for sale. Moreover, it happened in Russia simultaneously with the start of its distribution in the United States.

For a console, whose future generations may well turn out to be the killers of traditional consoles, in the vastness of our homeland they ask for a solid sum of 13,990 rubles at least (in the USA its price starts from $ 149). Recall that the previous generation in April of this year cost us 4,990 rubles (at the start, the price in the USA started at $99 for the console).

The price increase is due to the expansion of the functionality of the device. Now it’s not just a player. Apple TV of the fourth generation has got its own operating system based on iOS 9 – tvOS, a new remote control, a powerful processor running iPhone 6, 2 GB of RAM, as well as an application store.

From the latter, as we have written more than once, you can download and run applications adapted to the console. Among the latter, projects such as Badland, Shadowmatic and Asphalt 8 are already available on Apple TV.

By the way, for the release of the console, Harmonix studio, which created Dance Central, Rock Band, Guitar Hero, released Beat Sports, a rhythmic arcade game reminiscent of projects that once came out for the Wii from Nintendo.
