Comparing it to a Shield or Apple TV it’s clear how weak it was. In fairness, seems like they could just sell both but of course it’s important that Google have a performant offering
It didn’t need to compete with them. From a consumer perspective it just needed to be functional at a fraction of the cost, which it was.
I hate google at this point but chromecast did exactly what it needed to do. Always have one in my backpack when I travel. Sometimes “good enough” is all people want.
