> 128GB is strange.

It's really not. It's so reviewers will be able to say "it costs more than the last version, but you also get much more storage" and the average consumer is happy. If there were a practical reason for it Apple would put it front and center.

Apple has a service where you can play games, and I'd imagine a more-powerful box will come with a push for games that take advantage of it.

They also bought RAC9, developers of Sneaky Sasquatch (one of the best games on the service, in my opinion), and they've had an aTV version since day one.

In general, the idea of a single game being able to hop between a phone (which can turn into a handheld with a controller grip), TV box, and desktop/laptop is really interesting. Streaming can do that, but latency and bandwidth caps become issues; this sidesteps it by letting you run everything locally.

I sometimes use the VLC app. You can upload files via a little website it hosts on your local network. It's useful for watching videos from my Android phone that can't utilize Airplay. Can't say I've ever really needed more storage though
