Does Apple TV Need an App Store?

There are many rumors swirling that Apple is poised to announce their 3rd generation TV box at the next World Wide Developers Conference in June.

Will it just have streaming services, such as the recently announced HBO Now?  Or, will go the Chromecast route and have dedicated apps that are developed exclusively for the platform?
