Nothing would happen, why would that change anything? just that now you could connect your ipad to your tv. If this is a serious question i think it's pointless. :/


You seriously think that turning 300 million iDevices into home consoles wouldnt have any effect...?

Turning 300 million idevices into wha...? You never mentioned that, you said connect you ipad/iphone to your tv, that doesn't make it a home console you know... and there are already game controllers for ipad/iphone.

There is?   there is a suction thing which is shit and a mock mini arcade console.

People need to wise up, the onyl thing stopping more expansive gaming , i.e. a full console experience, hitting the ipad (or any tablet),  is control.

Pretty sure the ipad 2 is much more powerful than a PS2.

Yup there are some controllers, that hasn't changed anything... if it could connect to tv, it wouln't change anything just because the bussines models for these kind of devices and videogame consoles are totally different, a company wouldn bring his ''AAA Super Awesome MultiMillion dollar game'' to the appstore for $10, I (and im sure a lot of people) wouldn't buy a $700 gaming console that will meet his next generation in 1 year, EVEN if it has indie $1 games and ''compelling $7 experiences'' brought by some very good devs (that are 4 hours long), i think that would destroy the video game bussines, and big the companies know this, they use the appstore and playstore to gain some easy money (who doesn't like that?) but they know it... To be fair, when 1 appstore game makes $1.000.000.000 in 2 weeks, you can call me and rub it in my face -- I also understand your point of ''expand gaming'' but you believe that an ipad can offer a more compeling experience than the 360? the DS? 3DS? who knows what posibilities the Wii U holds? i think an Ipad how it is now cannot help to ''expand gaming''. Im not closed to new things i just genuinely believe that a tablet offers nothing, at least nothing that an existent device can not already do... or surpass.
