And it doesn't do anything, which is "totally failproof" and "improved hardware stability"Helba1984 said:
Yeah, it'd be the iGame or something simple and the controllers would look like the prototype PS3 controllers with the way-too-long, curved handles and then there'd be some sort of cutting edge gimmick to it. Maybe a multi-touch screen in place of the face buttons, so instead of X,O,Square, and Triangle, you'd have actual in-game functions that changed with each game. Like you'd have attack, interact, and change weapons as three buttons, and you could swipe it to a different screen that has you magic options.
You sir, are a very intelligent man. Kudos to you. =-Dlordlee said:
Personally, I don't think that Apple would make a decent console. I can't stand their software/hardware (I-Tunes, Laptops, I-Pods, etc.
I'm a PC, and am proud of it.
I don't know what the console would be like, but imagine the commercials:
Fade into all white background with nerdy fat guy, cool guy in "hip" clothes, and 7 year old
kid with sugar all over his face.
nerdy fat guy: I'm an xbox 360, i can play games and stuff.
little kid: Im a WII!!!!!!!! im motion controlly! but i only look cool for the first five minutes, after that i just piss you off! just like real little kids! or real wiis!
"hip" guy: And im an MacBox Pro Touch! Im the best console ever because APPLE SAYS SO! When you buy me you don't just get a game system! YOU GET A LIFESTYLE! you will be as hip as me! hot women will come to your designer appartment to play games with you! you will be cool! If that isn't you, maybe you should consider a less awesome console, like a Xsux 360 so you can sit in your basement all day long and be a geek while listening to your sterio or MP3 player, because you aren't cool enough for our products (the actor cast for this should look as over-the-top douschy as possible, but be able to pull off these lines with a straight face)

I assume it would be named something along the lines of their operating systems. Like Snow Leopard and all that jazz. I wouldn't go near the damned thing, though.
And of course it's sold at a 600% markup, so it would cost $4,000 USD for the "basic" model, and $8,000 USD for the "Elite" model. (Hard Drive, cables, and controller sold separately)ctrl-alt-postal said:
Oh, and they'd have an inordinate number of moving hands in the advertisement.
it would be called the "iCrap" so it tells you immeadiatley that it is of the same quality as all of the macs that they make
It would be the most innovative console since the Wii, one way or another: we probably wouldn't even think of the possibility until the console is announced. It would be easy to use, unlike a lot of people here are saying (have you people ever used Mac OSX?). It would have an "i" before it, no doubt. iGame. iBox. iThing. Not sure. Whatever. It would be amazing, is all I know.
Win, this is why I can't stand MacsIdealistCommi said:
I mean seriously, if you are fed up with Windows and want an operating system that is technically better but with a mediocre line up of games and patchy software support... THEN GET LINUX FOR FREE.
Mac is nothing but a tarted up Linux OS in a fancy sealed box (that you can't upgrade like a normal PC) only you get the satisfaction of paying roughly DOUBLE what a PC of similar specs would cost.
Apple would be utterly sodomised in the console gaming space where they can't sell products on some "lifestyle" premise but must deliver actual better content as Sony and Microsoft are competing now.
