Forums - Gaming - Apple to enter games market?

Smash_Brother on 07 December 2007

Games for the iPod touch/iPhone are pretty likely.



"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks

This will fail like the iphone.

 Uhm, the iphone wasn't a failure. You really should look up things before you post them.

Iphone is a terrible phone compare to all other cellphone producers, Motorola is in the same crapy category as iphone. Those two phone are being popular mostly in U.S because thanks to U.S Gov't put limitation on foreign phones imports. Ever wonder why after like 5 years the Razor still is the best thing in U.S market before iphone launched??? IF U.S gov't allow every single new phone produce from other countries into the U.S market I can assure you those Razor and Iphone will look like some kind of devices from the stone age. I can bet my money Soon Apple will have a new version of iphone that only add 3G support and apple fanatic will go out and buy it like its something amazingly out of this world invention. hahaha

The US has no regulations on import phones v domestically produced phones.  All phones have to pass FCC standards, and most do.  There are better-cheaper phones (relative to the iphone) in the US, it's just that many VW-owning suburbanites, boomers, and yuppies love apple.  Those phones don't make the news.

The perceived problem with cell service in the US isn't Gov't restrictions, it's the lack there of. Companies are allowed to sign exclusivity contracts and prevent customers using certain phones with other service companies.  I personally don't s.  I like freedom, so I don't see this as a problem.  If a company, which is owned by people, wants to sign a contract they should be allowed to. 



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

How Is the Iphone a Failure, Its fantastic for apple and its stock, they make over 800 off each one sold due to the at&t contract, check the last apple earning confrence call for that, they are on track for thier goal of 10 million+ by the end of calender 08. Their goal in not control, but to make money. They do that in spades

Actually, they are certain.

The iPod has games - and I can only imagine what games the iPod Touch/iPhone are capable of.

This is definitely the direction Apple will take - and you can expect support from pretty much every company that creates mobile (phone) games - EA, THQ, etc...

They won't create a dedicated portable gaming device - no point really. A console however... who knows :)

Remember the Pippin? Yeah... The Pippin... One thing's for sure... It was definitely not "pippin."


Apple's not going outside the computer industry, and that's that!
