The evidence is less than one million Google TV devices are in use worldwide

We have already spoken on these pages, and how the Google TV Google's mission in the world of smart television has proved a flop, but now there are some concrete numbers according to the technology blog GigaOM: there are less than one million units of Google TV in the world.

The users have reacted peacefully in front of the shortcomings and problems of the system when they received the first hearing, and all trading partners that Google has been burned in the worst possible way is Logitech, who with his Revue has lost millions of euros .

So far the number of units has been very difficult to define. Certainly neither Google nor the partners have done their information to clarify a situation that has been very embarrassing. Unfortunately, however, on the Android Market applications for Google TV with them are listed and activation data.

This is not purchased applications, but pre-installed, then you can not escape: just take the example of TV and Movies, virtually indispensable app for a TV set. According to estimates by the market, we talk about a number of users between 500,000 and one million. The consequences are easy to deduce. Even Xylogic, a traffic analysis company, has used a similar procedure that takes into account the data of various app. His estimates are still much more refined, since they consider that the number of active Google TV oscillates between 600,000 and 900,000.

Maybe things will get better with Google in future: soon to be launched the second generation of devices in collaboration with Samsung, Sony and LG, and will have an economic and efficient ARM processor, which could make the new competitive machines.
