| Sky Render said: Apple is a known threat. But usually the real threats are the unknowns. To wit: who expected Sony to enter the console business back in 1992 when they first started the deal with Nintendo to make a CD add-on? Who would have expected a Japanese playing card manufacturer like Nintendo to start making video games, especially after their waves of failed toy business efforts? Who expected a pack of often high college drop-outs and their little nobody company called Atari would start an entire industry based on video games? |
True, but with the focus on Gaming today as opposed to the late 70's through early 90's I wonder if any stealth moves can occur anymore.
Plus gaming has much higher entry costs than it did back in the day
