1- VGcharts is getting boring, we need something new to bash instead of the xbox one

2- being 3rd place in the console war wont be so bad

3- we can have angry birds avatars all over VGC

4- since microsoft hasn't done it yet, we need an american company to make a game about real american historic events where we fight gaint enemy chicken

5- nintendo can continue being doomed

6- old unattractive males standing behind white backrounds talking about magical features will become the standard of video game marketing

7- it would make microsoft's efforts at money hatting third party games look like shit

8- so people would STFU about nintendo going mobile

9- you would need to get 3 jobs instead of just two to afford getting the console

10- so i can use my iphone as a third gaming screen after my iController screen and tv


Love your list! Yes, the more, the merrier.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Well, there was that rumor about them buy Sony or at least the PlayStation Brand.

The istation? Anyone?

I think if Sony doesn't do well in the next year or two, that could happen. But I think it's unlikely.

I didn't think Apple TV was doing well enough for them to really want to push it. I think if they had, this or last year would be the best to launch.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

if any company wanted to enter the console market 2011 would have been the ideal launch date (IMO). still far away from next-gen consoles and at a time were PS3-360 were 5 and 6 years old. now there is huge hype and talk about X1 and PS4 that i think that anything that will go up against them is just going to be crushed. also lets not forget the WiiU, it has a 3d mario game, mario kart and super smash bros coming soon. 3 huge sellers

I like Apple. I don't want them to make a console.

Also, your points aren't good ones.

Nintendo doomed? Lmfao. You better be talking about Wii U. 3DS is the best selling handheld im recent history.

Apple would lose so much money they don't really have. They have no IP, no third party, no background, no name(in gaming, zynga can suck it), Market is saturated, red ocean, no identity, and most of all, not in their DNA.

Maybe if Steve Jobs were alive, and still it would be farfetched.

it has been confirmed time and time again by professionals and analyst that nintendo has been doomed for the past 15 years. please, get your facts right

Yeah Apple should join. Someone should join. Really join, not half-assed like the ouya anyway. If only because I too want things to heaten up. Two generations without a single casualty? That's too much to handle.

Only 15?

I thought they were doomed since the Genesis came out!
