| fleischr said: The #1 thing that sells Apple products is a seamless, simplified user experience. As a gaming device, Apple TV has a MAJOR chink in it's armor. Since Apple is still yet relying on 3rd party MFi controllers for 'gaming', the UX for gaming on Apple TV is going to be a mess. Differences in firmware, software, and overall quality of the controllers will cause confusion in the marketplace - especially among casual gamers. Any variance of these things can ruin a gaming experience. I'm surprised Apple wouldn't try to design and market their own controller. I thought they had world-class industrial designers? |
It does have a controller, the remote.
The focus will mostly be casual games here obviously, but if/when more and more deeper games come along, that's where the third party pads come in.
Also significant is that third party controller Apple is pushing is actually reasonably priced ($49.99, unlike the ridiculous $100 controllers from other companies).
