Apple just hasn't been able to get traction with gaming on Apple TV. Gaming on Apple TV is so small I couldn't even find an analyst report breaking down the market size.

I don't think new graphics hardware solves the problem. Beyond the friction of the unit not shipping with a controller, tvOS lacks good discovery for games and there is no ad infrastructure comparable to mobile. Most game developers aren't looking to invest in small, closed platforms with bad discovery. It's hard enough to make money on Apple's mobile platforms.
