The iPad could be the future of games consoles, say Epic and EA

Just a quick question - Since Apple keeps releasing updated spec products every year, what kind of baseline do these developers create their games with? One of the things about consoles is that throughout the 5+ year lifespan, you know that every console will be able to play your game. So in the future, will these developers develop for ipad versions that are 5+ years old to make sure the whole userbase can play?

Hmm...wouldn't it be possible to do something like PC devs do? Make the graphics adjustable.

yea, but you would have the same problem as pc devs. Incompatibility issues depending on how big the changes were. Not to mention a lot apps/games have to made for andriod and apple, maybe even windows if it picks up steam.
