Well, none of those Google TV devices have a decent game controller.
I actually see this as EXACTLY the place that the current mobile-game
revolution is lacking: Good standard controllers for games. There's
another project that's trying to be a dock that adds controllers on iOS,
in fact:

I agree with them that you can't really DO arcade games well with a
touch screen as your only controller. There are obviously a lot of games
that seriously benefit from having a touch screen, but there are entire
categories of game that have rather pathetic implementations because the
controller needs to be a touch region on the screen, or alternately you
have to tip the entire unit to control the game.
