Google TV apps aren't seeing many organic downloads: 92.6% are pre-installed, Xyologic says

Google’s Android-based Google TV system hasn’t been much of a hit with consumers and neither have its exclusive apps according to a new study from mobile app analysis company Xyologic. The company found that since August 2011 the 64 exclusive Google TV apps have reached an install base of 4.79 million, but the vast majority of those installs — 4.44 million or 92.6 percent of them — are the six apps that come pre-installed with Google TV.

While the system has been plagued by poor reviews and slow uptake, Xyologic’s statistics do seem to indicate that Google TV may finally be finding a niche in the market.
