But if Roku do everything correctly and also offer their new device at an acceptable price, they could easily climb back into the spotlight with this release. People are already talking about the Roku 4 a lot, even though other devices have appeared on the market in the meantime.
There have also been rumors that the company is planning to expand the reach of the Roku line, adding even more features and additional extras, but we don’t know if that’s true or not, nor what kinds of extras those might be exactly. It could have something to do with the gaming -oriented features of the device, from what we’ve been able to tell so far.
If the Roku 4 is coming soon, now would be the perfect time to fire up the hype machine. A little marketing will go a long way towards ensuring that the device gets enough exposure around the holiday season, which is the ideal time to release something like this.
Multimedia devices in particular tend to enjoy a lot of popularity around that time, and Roku is a company that knows its audience quite well, so we would expect their marketing to account for that.
I may be alone in saying this but I’m willing to pay a premium for the Roku 4. The Roku interface and experience, in my opinion, rival all other mainstream options!
Not worried about an extra $20 or so. Get the Roku 4 out with HBO so I can ditch this POS AppleTV to get a good streaming device while still keeping my wife happy.
Love Roku3, it’s the best! Would definitely pay more for Roku 4 .
I have used a Roku since the Roku XS was released and I have used an ATV3 and an Amazon Fire TV. The Roku is still my go to streamer. I will buy the Roku 4 when it is released even at a premium price, because it is a well made product. That being said, my Fire TV gets a lot of play. Mainly for the reason that I can add XBMC/Kodi.
I wouldn’t consider buying anything else, but Roku since I have used it since the beginning.
