Don't bother with the AppleTV. It's only playable on the latest model and even that crashes a lot. There's been rumors every year about updated ATV hardware but so far nothing. For handheld/touchscreen gaming, I prefer the iPad mini's size. If you use a controller, then 11" or 13". Honestly, the gam
