| Feniris said: Hey Joel, if Apple were, hypothetically speaking, going to buy EA to establish their own console entry, why stop at EA? They could easily go after Take-Two, Square-Enix, and even Activision if they really wanted to. They really could start a huge bidding war between them and MSoft that could potentially tear this industry appart. If they went after Sony, IMO, they may have to outbid MSoft and potentially Google as well. All this is interesting, but next to impossible to coming to realization. But, man can imagine. haha. |
Yah them entering would tear the industry apart. But I think it would be cool to see Google enter the industry. They could easily out bid Microsoft for Sony it wouldn't be much of a contest. Also if they aquired EA they probubly would go after Activision next if not UbiSoft or another big third party publisher.
I could imagine Apple purchasing Activision/EA and Sega. The console would slaughter PlayStation/X-Box and possibly even Nintendo's next console. Then I bet M$ and Nintendo would also start buying to prevent Apple from gaining all the publishers. Soon all the major publishers would be first party studios and the industry itself would be changed for ever!
If Apple enters the industry its a lose lose situation!
