Yes....I am keeping my fingers crossed on this one....I've wanted Apple to enter the console market for years.....With any luck they'll make a surprise appearance at E3 this year and announce a console in the making.

Apple doesn't do anything unless it's likely to change everything. They won't make a move unless they've got something significant up their sleeve. This is pretty safe (in other words -- not worth their time).

I'd love to see Apple take the place of the consistently third place MS in consoles.  Good competition is healthy.  Sony and Nintendo need a competitor that isn't a complete joke.

They wouldn't buy them because Sony doesn't make enough money to be worth Apple's enormous liquid assets.

People should think about the fact that both Nintendo AND Sony are trying to entice those little mobile developers into making games for their respective platforms, as well. I think that's the most delicious news all week.

I know, I was just rubbing it in a little to all those anti-Apple fanatics out there. Given Apple's position in the market and the influence they've had on the culture of technology, those vehemently opposed to them at this point are the real sheep. A delicious drink of information, that is.

I just don't see apple adapting to the console market. The console market is not an "update every year" market. People buy consoles for their ease of use--you buy one, put it under the tv, and forget about it for 5+ years. In addition to that, apple consumer--specifically the game consumer--have already become accustomed to cheap sub $5 games.

apple would push both MS and sony to the brink. i think sony (who has been on the verge of bankruptcy for a while now) would be devastated having to go against a company like apple. not to mention all of the ppl and developers who would immediately flock over to apple without question.

It can be hard accepting the reality of Apple's overwhelming success. I was going to tell you that your case would be many times more compelling if Apple were still on the verge of bankruptcy, but since you have no case and you can't multiply by zero, I can't say that!

Apple has patented a game controller design that eerily resembles a PS3 controller, and in one of the schematics it shows it connecting to a " Game Console ".

http://www.gamerevolution.com/news/apple-patents-dualshock-style-game-controller-14241

 

Yes....I am keeping my fingers crossed on this one....I've wanted Apple to enter the console market for years.....With any luck they'll make a surprise appearance at E3 this year and announce a console in the making.

In before the stupid US patent system allow the patent,and Apple sue Sony and MS for having a controller with 2 analogues..:lol:

It would be epic..

Looks like Apple is/was making a 3rd party controller for the PS3. This has to be very old if true.
