» What makes Apple think they can survive in the gaming market?
They can't even get games onto their main format, what chance are they going to have with consoles?
Microsoft had a hell of a time trying to get devs, and they'd been the only choice on a platform that can be used for games for ages.

There are a shedload of games available for OS X. Apple doesn't push the Mac for a gaming platform, and never has done - and now that Vista can be natively installed on Macs, that argument is neither here nor there anyway.
Apple managed to infiltrate the digital music and communication sectors quite well, I think you'll agree!? Why not games?
I think Apple will succeed, if the rumors are true, but as mentioned above, it will be soooo expensive :(
That's me done.

» Well ...
This is obviously a move by Apple to try and muscle in on apart of computer network they haven't been able to infiltrate. The only problem is -- people who enjoy gaming? Generally hate Mac and everything it stands for.
Think about it. With an Apple gaming machine, you'll do one or all of the following--
1.) Pay an exorberant amount of money for weak and outdated technology.
2.) Have developers forced to code for a kind of hardware they have no use for elseware (working for PS3 well, eh? LOL)
3.) The only thing you'll be able to use it with is 1st party proprietary accessories.
4.) Built in music application compatible only with iTunes and iPods.
5.) Paving the way for AppleTV and entirely Apple-made television sets in the near future.
6.) First, think about how annoyng Mac-fans are already. THEN, add them to the console war. ::shivers::
If this comes to fruition, I'm going to have to side with EA and vote fo a Uni-System.

» apple make trendy lookin stuff
and i believe thats 1 of few big factors that sell items.
the other main 1 is price which we all kno apple fail at.
unless they make a breakthrough in innovation, i say handheld is best left for DS. perhaps a multi touch sensitiv screen could work like iphone or microsoft Surface
devs are having an easy job not to make next gen games for 3 different next gen consoles like last gen so i think theres enough space for 1 more NEXT GEN console as well.

» Great! *very much sarcastic*
It would be completly idiotic for them to release it now if they really have to do this they need to wait till the competition upgrades. Because then The Big N and sony will just come out with something better.
