Amazon is the only company besides google and apple able to pull it off. Not because of money but the massive media industry behind them.


in my opinion Disney would pull it off, probably even better as well. 

I can't see Disney doing it. They have strict policies for adult content. Releasing a console which practically thrives on mature content wouldn't do them good.


hmm havent thought of that, if they ignore that policey then i think they would have been a great company for having a gaming console. (whether its PS, Xbox, nintendo or anything else for that matter)

They would probably be better off just releasing their own. They just can't handle 3rd parties. They are the Nintendo of the west. They need to have full control over everything they produce.


Actually I think they could handle 3rd parties, because that is how they are handling their IPs after they got rid of their gaming division (a move which indicates they wouldn't even think of buying into the console business.) Plus on the mature content side they have no qualms about doing that they just use one of their many branch studios to handle the "mature" movies. (Touchstone, etc)

So if they bought the division they would make it into its own brand and company that is owned by them. So their main brand will not be tranished by the mature content. (Fun fact Disney has only released one rated R movie under the Disney brand, Something Wicked this way comes. It was orginally a PG-13 movie but once the government gained overcite of the rating commision they rerated the movie since Disney wanted to a rerelease and they gave it an R)

So if they did it would be just The Xbox and not The Disney Xbox. But as I indicated before I seriously doubt Disney would even consider getting into the Hardware business.

As for Apple just considering how they are treating gaming on iTunes it would probally flop hard and/or be the worse thing that could happen to the industry as a whole.
