Should Apple create a console? (Poll)

They seem to know what their doing with the mac and ipod, If they do it will probably be up their in terms of sales. what do you think?

No, I do not think they should. If they do, however, they should name it Pippin 2, just for the lulz.

Over priced inferior product? SAGE_OF_FIRE

NEVAR FORGET!!

Oh god the controller would probably be even more simplified and dumbed down than the Wii's, example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BnLbv6QYcA

how about the worry about getting some games onto their imacs and macbooks first

They don't have to. MACs are getting some game supports (still not comparable to PC) so they might want to start with their OS first.

When is more competition a bad thing?

.. I can't stand the majority of their hardware.. They are extremely EXTREMELY overpriced for what you are getting, while at the same time holding the fad that EVERY one must have one.sSubZerOo

True...but...when introducing a new product into a new industry... If they don't get purchased... they fail.....brand will carry them only so far....

Apple will have to bring something more to the table to be competitive...... and that would move the industry forward

I doubt they would last long

I love Apple so I'll be all for it. I love their user interface, their hardware is sexy, I love their software (i.e. Mac OS X >>> Windows Vista/Windows XP, iMovie>>>MovieMaker, Pages>>>Word, Numbers>>>Excel, Keynote>>>PowerPoint, GarageBand is awesome, iWeb is awesome, iPhoto is awesome, iDVD is awesome, Address book works great, the new Safari is slick as hell, Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro are the best movie editing and sound editing programs respectively).

I own a Macbook, an iPhone, and an iPod shuffle. I'd love to add a slick little apple console to that.

I imagine their system would close the gap between the Wii and the 360/PS3 with visuals and features comparable to those systems but with the best user interface and the casual appeal of the Wii.

The only thing Apple is good at making is iPods. Why should they even attempt to make a game console? Oh wait--They did....and it failed.

They know what there doing when it comes to the Mac, but the Ipod is a distinctly average Mp3 player. If people bothered to open their eyes and shop around for alternative cheaper and better performing products they would see that apple is handing them a load of crap.

Heck yeah, I'd buy the........... iPLAY??????

Apple should make a new console IF and ONLY IF they plan to fully support the device. Similar to MS, Apple needs to jump in head first and get wet or dont worry about it. If Apple were to create a console their current ho-hum attitude towards gaming needs to change. They need to aggressively seek third-party support and pick an audience to cater towards. People would like to assume you could make a all-customer-happy-box, but in reality it wont happen. So basically Apple would need to unleash an all out war to shake up the industry.

Game On...

Where is all the Apple system hate coming from? I doubt its from people who actually own a Apple system (other than ipods). Until you use the system for WORK, you have no idea what you are missing in terms of functionaity and security. But hey, when in doubt with a Windows box, rebuild!!!

Nah, I certainly wouldn't buy it. They would probably go for the casual gamers and have a controller that is basically one big wheel.

maybe a handheld

but they have to improve gaming MACs to see if they could pull it off

Yes, just so we can laugh at it.

that would be awesome if their console can do 5D graphics and 180fpsFILIPINOMAZTER
