If Apple TV gets Madden, COD, Assasins Creed, and the rest of the yearly titles, then this article is dead on. That is why Sony and Microsoft are working so hard this generation to change the perception of the PlayStation and Xbox brands from gaming toys, to home computers/smart devices.

It is amazing how many people laugh this stuff off like its a joke when it just happened to the handheld segment. If people can get an even more functional device that works just as simply, but offers even more convenience, then that product will win.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Apple doesn't care about the console market. They've always viewed it as a market for juveniles, Steve Jobs never liked video games. 

The profit margins aren't high enough to be worth Apple's time either. Game consoles make OK money, but not huge dollars, like XBox is peanuts for Microsoft.

That said if they really needed to, there's nothing magical Sony or MS do that Apple couldn't and they could outmarket both of them easily. 



Would be neat to see.



In keeping with Apple tradition I can see the outcome being:
- Console built out of a single piece of aluminum
- Lower spec than the WiiU
- Higher price than all three current gen consoles combined.



But. But.  That epic Rose Gold exclusive color!!!

Yes it will be a glorious console

Will be underpowered
Will be hilarious expensive
Will come in 5 different colours except black weirdly
Will require you to connect to itunes at one point
And will inevitably have an update the takes a giant shit on the os


and it wont have a disc drive



Waning sales of consoles? Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the combined sales of Xbox One and PS4 much higher than any generation prior?
