Apple TV Sales to Reach 1 Million This Week

    Apple announced that it expects sales of its redesigned Apple TV, introduced this September, to top 1 million later this week.
The latest version of Apple TV offers support for Netflix,

    YouTube, Flickr and MobileMe, as well as content streaming and affordable rental pricing for TV shows, at a price of $99.99. It seems that Apple’s new strategy worked, as 1 million units sold in three and a half months. Apple also claims that iTunes users are now renting and purchasing more than 400,000 TV episodes and more than 150,000 movies per day.

      It’s also another slap in the face for Google, whose Google TV, which was once perceived as a chief rival to Apple TV, is not doing nearly as well.
    
     Several major broadcast network have banned it from accessing their content, and a recent report from The New York Times revealed that numerous manufacturers will hold off from displaying their Google TV devices at CES as Google needs more time to tweak the software.
