This will no way be a regular console. It will be far different from the Wii. Apple can't possibly be stupid enough to go in now, with something competing with the ones out.

If you expect the total sales of the generation to be 300M, almost 100M of that will be gone before they get to even launch their console. With Wii selling like cupcakes, and Ps3 having picked up enough steem to keep anything new not very cheap knocked out, Apple would have to accept enourmous losses to join in.

This has been discussed before. I'd imagine an Apple console would be more like the next iteration if Apple TV. A TV box top entirely based around digital distribution and streaming content. One that would focus on movies, music and games. I'm sure there'd be a concerted effort to go after families and new gamers as well, but it's unsure if they'd try to follow the Wii control direction.

 They might not go for the motion controls, but they'll definitely use the IR pointer. This is the company that brought point-and-click to the mass market, after all.

And a response to the thread in general, could you guys at least wait until a fanboy shows up before you start bitching about it? I see way more bitching about Apple fans than I see Apple fans nowadays.

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

I know alot of people who would prefer the Apple brand over Microsoft i know i would,its just a matter of how bad does Apple want to sqeeze in and be relevant.

Microsoft fanboys are annoying, but Apple fanboys are like hell on earth. I am not happy about this.

That's what worries me the most too... I mean, if Sony/MS/Nintendo fans are annoying to each other, Apple guys are 10 times worse! It's like a religion to them...

Well, on the bright side, maybe they would bring the PS,MS,Wii fanboys closer together.



OS fan boys scare me, it's an operating system, not a religion.

Sony =85%

Microsoft=60%
