A lot of unwarranted Apple hate here, overpriced? yeah sure, what isnt? but all the other comments scream ignorance. their touchscreens phones or ipods do fine. one of the best capacitive touchscreens ever. not sure if DS is capacitive but itouches seem to work better than my DS.tirralirra

Its not Apple hate, its hate for Apple users, and their "its better" attitude without any actual argument put forward.

If they do, it will be the end of gaming as we know it. Knowing Apple, they will just advertise the crap out of it.

God I hope not.

It would be complete style over substance

Good point. Apple would also price it high, and i can't think what they could offer that Sony, MS, Nintendo can't.

That only applies to mac and the reason is because they want to keep a high profit margin because they know theyll have hard time beating windows.

Sony Did

Microsoft Did

Will Apple ever?

Doubtful. If you look at their computers in general, the programming is a unix based OS which most developers tend to shun when programming their games. This is why PC (windows specifically) gets most games, Mac gets few games and linux gets even less games. If they made a console, it would most likely use their "apple" programming methods, and developers would then have to learn yet another programming style, further diluting the gaming industry.

I don't hate Apple, i just hate the people who own them, i wish they'd all just jump of a cliff, the punch of****:D:P

What'd they do to you? I mean some are an obnoxious nose-pointed-up bunch. But, no more than the crowd I see here. Fanboys are fanboys.

Stop bumping old Apple threads. I swear, Cows have some serious competition for most annoying fanboys.
