Don't think Apple is the right company for a gaming system. Their normal way (high price, nice features and design) doesn't work that well here.

I think AMD or Intel is more likley. Both have experience in such hardware and can produce it themselves, or produce them for others right know. All they need is to buy some studios for decent first party development.

What? Consoles are about as expensive as iPods, and consoles could certainly do with a smoother interface and better online features, as well as better multimedia support. It would work, only with better marketing than the PS3. AMD/Intel: Probably not, although I see where you're coming from because AMD makes CPUs, GPUs and Chipsets. They are also heavily in debt and losing money. I would think it would be considered too risky for either: another Xbox, only with no huge cash reserves and no known big brand amongst the general public.


Yeah, but the Apple difference is putting out an expensive product that's already inferior to what's on the market at a higher price.  If they released the Ps3 it would of been $800.   The fact that consoles cost about the same as Ipods should tell you all you need to know about that.

I mean look at the Iphone.  There are phones that do everything the Iphone does and more... and comes with a keyboard instead of an awkward touchscreen.  Apple would make the same mistakes Sony did with the PS3, except they wouldn't have the brandname for consoles and popular franchises backing them from earlier systems.
