I think they'll flop hard for the first 2 gens, and it'd be hard to get exclusives, as Apple isnt known for gaming. If EA expands outwards, they may create a hardware division too. |
Power PC is an IBM product and to this day PowerPC is fully in use by all three console manufacturers.
Wii has a single core weakass old PPC, 360 has a state of the art tricore PPC and the heart of CELL in PS3 is the same core as the one used in 360(single core here though aided by the SPE`s).
Oh BTW Apple tried before and failed horribly(think worse then 3DO):
