Right now Apple lacks the personal expertise to break into the gaming industry. Even prior to PlayStation Sony did develope games, they already had people with industry know how. Then Sony worked with Nintendo on SNES-CD and they learnt alot about the industry. Then they started building the PlayStation brand and put together developers and aquired developers to expand into the industry.
Apple at the moment does not have any personal with that know how to my knowledge. They lack the internal developers that are critical to a platform holder. They also have no established IP's much like Microsoft lacked when they entered the industry. Apple would need to hire experts asap and put together some stellar internal teams before they could think of going into the industry without any aquisitions. Apple just lacks the infastructure which is why purchasing Sony would be perfect for them.
