They may enter the game business next year, achieve a moderate success on mobile games on iPhone, maybe release some stylish console to gain some interim experience, and, with the help of big publishers like EA, prepare for their full-fledged fight in the next generation, 2011 or 2012. |
They can do their own thing with the iPhone just as mobile phones already but as for as an actual home console....not gonna happen thsi generation.
The development cycle is already too deep in motion for Apple to gain any traction at all. Retail space is at a premium and cramped as it is already meaning actual retail support with product would be very, very limited. It's plan and simply too late this generation.
Not even EA can alter their current development structure enough to offer Apple anything remotely serious.
They have no target audience that isn't already covered. Appealing only to Apple/Mac fans is a highly niche market that can't support a home console.
