Do we really want Apple in the game console industry?

Wow! I was the first one to welcome them.

They would bring innovation, as they always do. That would be great for me.

What innovation are you talking about?

The iPhone? No, smphones were there before the iPhone.

The iPad? No, Tablet PCs (it's not even a full Tablet PC) were there before the iPad.

The iPod or iTunes? don't make me laugh. MP3 players and MP3 shops came LONG before Apple did this.

 

Really, Apple doesn't innovate anything.  All they do is bring it under one hut and stamp their expensive name on it. The major selling point of Apple products is design and blind worship. They make it casual friendly and add widespread appeal, though, so much I give to them.

Pretty much this. An Apple console would be full of shitty games, have completely closed application markets and would be overpriced as hell as well as costing developers an arm and a leg with the insane rates Apple charge from their stores and royalties.

All in all; no thanks for me allthough I do think it would sell like hell simply based on the fact that it would have a partially consumed fruit on the back and a shiny cover.

PS: Bring on the Apple-corps...
