Apple TV users are mostly Gen X men

It's still early days for the new Apple TV, which started shipping Oct. 30. The new device has an upgraded remote and app store that allows gaming, live sporting events and Siri-enabled search.

Sales of the older model had previously trailed competitors such as Roku, Amazon Fire TV and Google's Chromecast, according to separate research by Parks Associates. But Slice's new study indicates the tables have turned: With the addition of the new Apple TV, Apple has the largest share of the streaming TV hardware market, at 31 percent, Slice said.
