| KBG29 said: If Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo don't react, and gamers keep on insisting PS4/XBO/WiiU are just for games history will repeat itself. Apple will win over too big of a market, and the casual crowd will abandon the traditional game console and AAA market. Once they Score Call of Duty, Madden, Fifa, GTA, and the likes, the "I only game on my consoles/handhelds" crowd will have killed another gaming platform. If people honestly think that the very potential future where you can get everything available on iOS + traditional console/PC 3rd party games is not a threat to PS4 and XBO, I don't even know what planet they live on anymore. |
In order to do that they'll have to release product that has similar specs as MSony and has standard controller - which means they need to enter console market. AAA publishers will not bother putting their major IPs on new undepowered device with bad controls and finicky casual audience - they already have that in mobile.
As for future, streaming games home console generations, sure, Apple will probably enter the market in some way, but again I think they need some standard device that competes head to head with others and not some TV device with remote if they want to attract core audience. Otherwise, they're left with casuals, and that's really not the same market.
