After Google dropped their Chromecast announcement yesterday, it would be easy to call it the nail in Google TV's coffin. However, Google doesn't seem to think so. Sundar Pichai told CNET that Google TV was absolutely going to grow and evolve alongside Chromecast, and neither device would be replacing the other. Considering Google has pledged to update Google TV to Jelly Bean later this year, it makes sense, but with Chromecast preorders sold out within hours, it's easy to see how much damage Chromecast could potentially do to Google TV's success.
Pichai also said that Google TV would be getting some newer partners and software updates later in the year, which would go a long way towards helping its popularity. Still, though, it hasn't had much early success, and it is still possible for Google TV to go the way of Google Reader. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
