Can they sell games on iPhone? Surely it would be competition to apple?

Or I am missing something.


Not sure what you mean by this...

I thought they would sell games on xbl on iphone. Since the first is free according to OP.

And since apple has their own store on iphone I thought they may have had a monopoly on it.


Ofcourse they could sell games - there just like any other app maker. However, I don't think they'll sell games until they can make Apple agree to lower their 30% cut...which I don't see happening.



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

Wow this sounds awesome, but I thought this was supposed to be an advantage of purchasing the Windows phone, or am I mistaken?? I read somewhere that Microsoft will do this for their Windows phone hoping to attract Xbox Live users but then why release it on iOS?
hmmm, now I'm really confused about getting the Nokia Lumia 920 or the Iphone 5...

They wont be able to sell games in the app, jut like you cant buy books in the kindle app, but what you can do on kindle Is buy books from the amazon store via the web browser then just download the books in the kindle app, that's how amazon get around paying apple 30%
