I think the streak refers to the number of consecutively successful films and not the dollar amount. Apple has released many successful iPods, iPads, Macs, and other products but there have been relative flops such as the Apple TV and the iPod Hi-Fi.
Thanks, I now think he was making both points (see emphasis on "per year"), the dollar one obscuring the streak one for me.
BTW: to be fair, Apple TV hasn't flopped yet (a media center aot a desktop computer still seems like a good idea... though the iPhone/iPad or something could yet displace it). It has low uptake but passionate users... like the first iPod. The iPod Hi-Fi flopped.
Good points, he did emphasize $/year and I still plan on buying an Apple TV (once I have a TV) so perhaps there is hope for it yet. I'd like it to succeed.
Anecdotally my sister's husband bought one and also got his brother one last Christmas. Whether they use them or not is another question I'll have to ask next time I see them.
