This has to be a move towards the development of games on an Apple TV.

Indeed, it also explains why they put the A7 in all their devices (instead of recycling the A6 as they did previous years). An Apple TV with A7 and Metal will be competitive with Xbox360 / PS3 / Wii U spec-wise. And without a fan!

Currently Apple TV has an A5. The A8 is due in the fall. So an updated Apple TV with an A8 could be a powerful gaming machine.
