while the other items you mentioned were flops, AppleTV was a minimal investment ...
Qt? Already done.
ITunes. Already done.
ITnes store. Already done.
wifi - cheap chip.
OSX - already got.
hardware form - it's a shorter mini.
How much could they have spent building this thing? A few million in R&D? The rest is off the shelf parts. No special chips, no special molds ...
It's not a huge seller, sure but it's like adding MINT to the line - if it works great, if not - no biggie.
