The evidence for an Apple game console

If apple makes a console they shouldn't bother with motion sensing like the wii or projects natal and psmove. They should focus on a REAL console like the ps3 and 360. I have an ipodtouch and ps3 and certainly dint want to buy a console to play apps that I only play on my iPod to kill timein the car. I purchased an iPod touch for music and a ps3 for gaming. Apps for my iPod are just somthing extra! Apple should make a console that is compatible with a reagular tv, blu Ray drive, full HD, and make a nice controler for real gamers who Wana relax after a day and sit down and play some cod or somthing. Not hop around the room like monkey!!! A have a wii as well and considered it fun for several moths then was tired of low graph games and waving my hand at two infrared lights. It needs to apeal to that market and have new games made compatible for it just like ps3 and 360. They can wory about adding motion sensing and 3d later........ And just because apple makes great touch screens doesn't mean a console should have it.... They can add aps like the mini games later with iTunes available on the system........!

I think this is a little off the mark...

People don't want to play iPhone games on their big plasma TV, no matter how good the resolution is...
They want to play console style games on the TV- be it arcade (wii) style or more serious gaming (first person shooter, xbox, ps3) as a generalisation.

There can be no doubt though that the App store is pioneer, and certainly this combined with the games iconsole could pave the way for Apple to make its way into the living room more so than the Apple TV.

Innovation. Social gaming is fast taking off; garageband, singstar, eye toy, project natal, wii...
This is why the Wii took off in this generation, leaving behind it the gamecube in its dust. like the Wii I think it will put a huge push on the interactivity of games but more socially...

The difference I feel is that every game would be much more connected with the online experience and connecting with existing popular social mediums.
It'll connect youtube, facebook, itunes, garageband, imovie, iweb (blogs), iphoto and user creation... Its all about sharing... making it easy, fun, social.

But I don't think Apple will neglect the core of games either...
Apple will need big games companies, big titles, fantastic multimedia content. But I also think it would have more 'serious' titles in order to also compete with PS3 and Xbox.

Well it explains farther... That would be reasonable enough in time apple can take a wide range of game console. This could be nice actually and I can't wait to see it.

I think "Jeffery Moore" put it best --->

"If anyone could top the user experience of the X-Box, it's Apple...
Microsoft... brought us Windows Vista, deemed worst OS of all time by everyone, everywhere...
Imagine what can be done by a company that hardly knows how to make anything less than stellar....
I want a full-blown beast gaming system that gives me hardcore graphics running on a sexy Unix core."

I think every needs to leave the idea of a "Handheld" out of this topic. APPLE needs to come in to this LARGER MARKET.

Sadly apple was ahead of its time in 1995 with its "PipPiN - Cheap computer system" - NOT A GAMING CONSOLE, but a low cost computer aimed mostly at gaming. - Apple’s own words.

But now, if they network correctly, get some great titles under their belts, if this time around everything is done differently, not only will they have a chance, but they will succeed.

As for the iphone - C'mon... IT IS an entirely different THING and it does not make sense to compare a system, in direct competition with those already ruling an entirely different market, with that of an IPHONE. It is after all, a PHONE.

Secondly - Apple does not decide what games are popular so to put it as bluntly as possible, who cares what Games are available for an iphone when talking about an entirely different system.

The people decide what games/consoles are popular, thus profitable.

No doubt APPLE has what it takes to make some great hits, but they will need more than the apple logo to compete with the "big hit" games which XBOX and PS are popular for supplying.

And these days, it's not just about a "Gaming console" it is about an "Entertainment Console" - NETFLIX on XBOX LIVE... Wink, Wink;-)

well first of all mac designs their ting to work to gether and they do that so well that if they designed a handheld gaming system they would rize to the top very fast cause it would not only work as an ipod but and maby and phone and also a gaming system

but even better
if mac made a gaming system that you could actses your itunes account and that would include the app store that you could download games right to your gaming system and make it so you could hook your iphone/ipod up as a controller and then have a quite cheper controller that you could by so you wouldent have to be so woried about your phone getting throne by some little kid but i think it would be quite simple

should include
a built in wifi & bluetooth with a couple of usb slots and maby even an ipod doc where you could sync and charge your ipod/iphone and

they have proven
that they can fit the longest lasting batt in a computer and it still be the best and the smallest they have the thinest computer and then the best of all the most easiest to work with pda on the market also the best mp3 player ant the coolest touch pad for a laptop

so i
do think that it wouldent take verry much for them to pop one out and make it the best and be right on top with the gaming industry

did i also mention
that they are almost the only ones besides microsoft that have their one aria in bestbuy and most malls

If anyone could top the user experience of the X-Box, it's Apple. For Christ's sake, Microsoft had a hand in creating this great good gaming system, and this is the same company which brought us Windows Vista, deemed worst OS of all time by everyone, everywhere.

Imagine what can be done by a company that hardly knows how to make anything less than stellar. Something that'll rock the face off everyone. I think this would be a good move for Apple, provided the put the same kind of blood sweat and tears into it as they have everything else post-2000ish.

And I'm ignoring the possibility of a handheld gaming system. I think they already have that with the iPhone and iPod Touch. From what I have seen, not a whole lot to improve upon there. I want a full-blown beast gaming system that gives me hardcore graphics running on a sexy Unix core. I don't care how they work out the business side, I just want a console that can top the X-Box 360. And I know who is capable, and seems to be geared toward it right now...

Now i never commented about this before but i don't think the apple buying twitter is totally bogus. If you think about it Apple might want the twitter network in order to come up with a rival to BlackBerry Messenger for their iPhone that could be used with blackberry's as well in order to dig deeper into RIM's market share. I know many blackberry users that will not give it up solely for that purpose.

Guys come on, Apple Console? Can u imagine that? I support apple for one reason because its unique and not like other company's by making cheap stuff.

Well its only me that thinks that Apple might wanna do something that OnLive is doing?

To me that sounds more possible than making a new gaming console...

And iPhone as a controller? No. Just no.
