If this rumor is at all true and Apple does get into the market, then Sony is the one that should worry the most, Nintendo and MS have tons of money so they can survive nearly anything short of a nuclear strike on their main offices, but Sony is already reeling

True, true. Though ultimately everyone has something to lose. Nintendo loses its hegemony with the expanded market, Sony sits on the brink of annihilation, and Microsoft has to contend with Apple in yet another arena

 

 

I m not sure if Apple will be successfull.. i mean Apple like to charge a reasonable margin on their products.. They will have to build software developers relationship, this is one thing in which they are not very good at.

One thing they will be good at is marketing. Secondly i think the crowd which is going to go for Apple is a Nintendo crowd.. Sony has already too many first party developers and its franchises and IPs that it will still keep selling well. MS is short of developers so they will have to money hat a lot more now.. and maybe they will like to go back towards their core buisnesses rather than spend money over here. although MS has deep pockets but its also has equally diversified areas..

So it will be an interesting battle..

 

 Apple's too smart to directly challenge Nintendo, no, they would go after some of the expanded market, but would likely go more after Sony and MS's market.  Trying to challenge Nintendo in the expanded market would be problematic because of the base Nintendo has built.  Sony and MS however are more vulnerable, especially Sony
