Mobile analytics firm, Xyologic, released data today about Google TV app downloads:
According to our analysis, these apps have a total install base of 4,793,000. Please note that 6 of these apps – which come pre-installed at Google TVs – combine to 4,441,000 of these installs. Only 352,000 Google TV exclusive Android apps have been downloaded so far.
That means only 8% of installed apps on Google TVs were newly downloaded. Even worse, pre-installed apps had an average rating of less than 2.5/5. Logitech’s complaint that they lost over $100 million on the project, combined with Xyologic’s report of weak app adoption and poor user ratings, makes Eric Schmidt’s claims seem extra delusional.
