Microsoft has done a good job in the gaming division. The Xbox 360 is officially a success and will continue to be a success. It's a household name now. They have kept Sony on its toes, and they have established some awesome franchises. I have always rooted for them.
Sony had a major misstep originally with the PS3, but have returned to form with some awesome games, lower prices, and new things on PSN that actually kind of level the playing field with Xbox Live. So Sony should stay too.
And finally, while I really can't stand the Wii, I really do love Nintendo. I grew up on Nintendo, and I'm glad to see them back in shape again. I was really really afraid for them after the Gamecube debacle, but they have also returned to form in a big way. What I'm still afraid of for them is that they no longer have the power to make gamers' games anymore. I think the more popular the Wii gets, the more they solidify their repuation for being geared more toward little kids and old people.
Now if Apple were to enter the gaming market, I would hate it. There is not one piece of Apple hardware or software that I think is worth a shit now, and I could never bring myself to buy a console made by Apple. And if they were to do what they do with all their other products, their console would be very stripped down and not as functional as the other consoles on the market, but they would make ridiculous commercials stating the opposite and spawn a whole new generation of smug Apple gamers. I would almost venture to say that if Apple entered the gaming market, it would ruin gaming for me.
