Apple making a gaming console

[child of lileth]

No. For the love of cake, no. I will never buy an Apple console. I can't take anymore companies deciding to start making a new entry to the console market anymore.

 

[Limzz]

I think it's gonna be called the pPad. 'p' is for play. All the functionality of an iPad (which has all the functionality of an iPod) but with a controller!!!

If they do make one, they'll probably name it the iPlay if anything.
Knowing apple, it would probably be a very glossy and shiny sphere.

"Three shall stand, one shall fall." [psst, its the wii.] But seriously, WE DON"T NEED ANOTHER GAMING CONSOLE! WE HAVE DS, DSL, DSI, DSL, DS3D, XBOX 360, WII, PS3, GAMEBOY, BLAH BLAH BLAH, YAP, YAP YAP, DRIBBLE, DRIBBLE, DRIBBLE. Leave MICROSOFT ALONE. [I made an Edd, Ed, 'n' Eddy and an"Leave Brittany Alone" reference. PWNED]

Oh god, I can see the obnoxious marketing scheme already.

Apple: Hi, I'm an i(whatever the fuck it's going to be called).

Whichever competitor Apple wants to poop on: And I'm a PS3/Xbox360/Wii.

Apple: Well, I'm the future in video gaming, well, I will be as soon as some idiot developer decides to develop any kind of platform exclusive game.

PS3/Xbox/Wii: Yeah, good luck with that.


Y'know, judging from the way Apple seems to be developing their new gadgets, it's probably going to be a 40 inch, HD, surround sound iTouch. At the very least, I hope that their potential step into the console war makes a better skateboard than the iPad.

 

[DustyDrB]

Makes sense. I'm down for this.

 

[Calum_M]

If Apple used what seems to be their current business model (making products with outdated functionality at unreasonable prices, but making sure that the interface and case look nice)in the gaming market, they would be destroyed.

 

[superbatranger]

We dont need more consoles we need more good games god damn it

Amen brother! I for one wouldn't buy anything from Apple. I find them to be overpriced and highly overrated.

 

[newfoundsky]

Whatever breeds competition.

 

[Dahni]

I can already hear the pretentious hipsters emptying all their loose change into a massive piggy bank to begin saving for whatever this over-priced piece of shit may be.

Considering I can't even get a freakin' Macbook for less than £700, the chances of this console being anything below £500 are astronomically unlikely.

 

[Dahni]

So, it'll be overpriced, pointlessly flashy, actually do nothing special and only serve as a status symbol for elitists? Yeah, good luck with that...

Are we talking about the PS3 in here?

oh dear god, don't start a flame war. :|

 

[Dahni]

oh dear god, don't start a flame war. :|

Oh come on, that's like the PERFECT description of the PS3 at launch.

perhaps. i do agree, however, last thing that's needed is a flame war.

 

[e2density]

Won't buy it. It'll probably cost $2900. And have pretty bad games.

 

[razerdoh]

apple is the new IBM... nuff said

 

[imaloony]

I really hope the console doesn't look like that. It would look stupid as hell.

I wouldn't buy it. Apple are being pretty stupid in considering this. It's a really bad time to jump into the gaming market, especially with Nintendo destroying everyone in terms of sales.

 

[Mean Mother Rucker]

Apple, soon to be known as Skynet goes live in the gaming world in 2012.

Maybe this is the apocalypse that the Mayans predicted...

 

[Miumaru]

The iPhone is NOT a gaming console. We dont need another console. Either it will fail, or we will just have alot more flame induced headaches....
Or 360 and PS3 fans will unite and crush the Apple fans and then celebrate and party and be friendly...for a minute then go back to hating just eachother with a bit of scrap hate to Wii fans sitting in the corner ignoring it all playing Brawl.
