I was sitting down thinking about this and they could make a Itouch device more advance and specifically for handheld gaming and of course make a system that would involve motion moving and push Mac, Ipods, Itouches, Iphones, and etc. . Even make a Touch TV lol. . But the point is that I was thinking if there was going to be a new company (like how Microsoft easily came in the picture so easily) I was assuming Apple would be the next. . . Maybe, Maybe not. . . What do you guys think ?

Any touch screen based gaming device is off my radar, as is any motion control based gaming device.

Apple already tried. It was called the Pippin. It failed miserably.

Dude that was about 15 years ago. Apple is in a different place fiancially and culturally. They have incredible brand awareness plus they now have the Apple Store to sell their product, in addition to the internet, which was nowhere near the commerce giant it is now when the Pippin was introduced. It could happen.

But I wouldn't buy it.

This. It was a MAC turned into a console :P

I could imagine them going against the Wii U but I'm not sure if smartphone rules apply on home consoles too. But I'm sure Epic would support them and make some killer-looking playlable tech demos for them :P

I'd do the same thing. It'd be overpriced, and have basically no features. Oh, and very few games; if any at all.

The stuff inside costs more than the cup. You could get a gallon of milk, a thing of folgers, two mugs, and bag of sugar for what that getup costs. Which is why it suits Apple well. Because you could probably buy a 360, a PS3, and a couple games for each for what they'd sell their console for. :P

nintendo wii u is all i gotta say im not paying apple 800 bucks for the same exact thing lol

plus if apple entered one of the 3 would go , and my bets on microsoft as they aint doing to hot

considering the factor at which they started this gen in , and where its at now

1-less then 40 exclusive first party titles ps3 and wii have near 60

2-they entered the gen 1 yr ahead of the competition had it been sony or nintendo that did that theyd probably pull away and never look back , sega any body

3 3rd console curse every one has one , and it proved to be to much for sega

actually you probably could buy a ps3 360 and a wii u lol and games for each 800 bucks is alot of money, heck since they sell ipads for 800 , i bet their console would cost over a thousand , and if that does, ---- heres what you could buy a wii a wii u a 3ds a vita a ps3 a 360 a 720 and a ps4 lol and maybe 1 or 2 games for each

Don't forget the Saturn was difficult to program for. It failed in part because of it. The was the beginning of the end for them. Hmmm, people had the same complaint about another console. Which one was it?

don't even start with the fear mongering, developers had trouble with the PS3 during launch period, they've been fine for the past few years now.

Relax dude. PS3 is my only 7th gen console. I'm not saying they're doomed. I'm saying there are other factors at work.

The first model of it will be bare bones with a glossy while coat, Apple fans sure like shiney objects. Each new version of the console will come out every 6-8 months and add 1 extra feature and be a few millimeaters thinner.

If it came with Apple TV built in and a hub were I cam store the base of my APple media. 500 GB hard drive + and have discs for big games, I'd buy it in a heart beat. You can already stream all of your iPhone data to APple tv when IOS5 comes.

They would lose billions because the hardware business is hardly profitable.

How many years did it take for Sony and MS to make money of hardware? Nintendo needed a gimmick to sell theres, and even then had to go cheap on the hardware specs to even break even. Apple's iPad and iPhone are successful because they are sold with contracts, no many people are willing to sellout $600+ for good hardware.

Depends on the price and specs. Even then, I would have to wait a year or two to make sure it was getting games i cared to play.
