Maybe read the OP? "why would Apple do that" is a tired argument, when they're getting into all sorts of markets like watches, headphones and cars, the idea of them entering the console business shouldn't be shocking. Consoles and the products they sell aren't mutually exclusive. Apple TV can serve as a true console with some beefier specs. Why is Apple willing to spend billions on exclusive TV shows when they have all of the streaming services on their devices already, and just leaving consoles aside for a moment: is it me or is getting 100% of the revenue better than the 30% cut they get now? I think you should stop looking at it from console war goggles, but realize Apple seriously is lacking a capable, competitive device under the TV. |
Dont think so. Once again, Microsoft took Halo from them. In the console realm you need stand out titles to separate your brand from another. Halo was supposed to be Apples answer for the PC realm as a proving ground that Apple could be seen as competent gaming machines. The console realm would require quite a bit of time on new ips. Based on the way Steve Jobs handled the situation with a lack of desire to buy studios like bungie (which cost them halo) I dont know how this will all be handled.
