Eddy Cue talks developer interest for the new Apple TV and more

*Apple's SVP of Internet Software and Services Eddy Cue recently spoke about the developer interest levels in the new Apple TV, as well as his thoughts on what will do best on the platform. With more than 2,000 apps already live in the store, Cue says that things are also going great on the customer side as about 50% of the sales are existing Apple TV owners upgrading to new hardware. While many would believe that people are using it primarily for streaming, Cue says that it's being used for much more. "What we're seeing with the new Apple TV is to me very similar to what happened with gaming on the iPhone. When we first announced the iPhone, we didn't tout it as a gaming device. But games became a huge part of iPhone, because it turns out that a lot more people than just hardcore gamers love games. We expanded the market. I think the vast majority of people around the world probably aren't looking to buy an Xbox or PlayStation. But that doesn't mean they don't enjoy playing games....
