The main difference between the sales of the Chromecast and Apple TV is the price of both the devices i.e. Google priced its streaming stick for Just $35 where as Apple TV is priced at $149. According to Report this is the first time Chromecast beat Apple TV. But, Since the launch of Google Chromecast 2nd Gen i.e. From third quarter of 2015 chromecast is the top seller.
