Apple has a service where you can play games, and I'd imagine a more-powerful box will come with a push for games that take advantage of it.
They also bought RAC9, developers of Sneaky Sasquatch (one of the best games on the service, in my opinion), and they've had an aTV version since day one.
In general, the idea of a single game being able to hop between a phone (which can turn into a handheld with a controller grip), TV box, and desktop/laptop is really interesting. Streaming can do that, but latency and bandwidth caps become issues; this sidesteps it by letting you run everything locally.
