Naw the new apple logo and the third party support isn't what it's going to take.
There has to be a major shift in what people see value as within the gaming world for apple to make head-way here.
They can try to get into it through up market with the PSP but if their copying the PSP model, well... look where the PSP is to the DS, it may have a touch screen, but the goals are totally different.
((Edit: I'll explain different here: The point of the hardware is to appeal to a wide range of people through other industries, music, movies, phones, and even cameras.) Adding games to a device that is already combating and winning in a lot of different industries would be testing the endurance of that device, but aside from that - clearly the more functions the device has the more expensive it will be, the focus will then by nature shift to what can give the highest return - the current up market does that for Sony/Microsoft so that is where they will go.)
The hardware may sell but the software will suffer - right now if 3rd parties are signing up with Apple to develop for them, they are just fishing for an audience. (Trying to find a wave to ride.) I mean if you've been paying attention to Apple you know that they have been using microsoft like footing on the mountain of success. But they will only get as far as what is giving them footing.
So it depends on which market Apple goes into, if they go toward Nintendos or Sony/Microsoft. Given their history they will if they have any intention to enter the market; wait for Microsoft.
Nintendo is the current market leader so business wise, whatever they do if it's a megaton it could change the shape of all the other companies in the market.
I only know cliff's on Apple anyway so that's just my logical conclusion.
I'm Unamerica and you can too.
