I'm sorry but te market is already oversaturated. They'd defnitely be losing money for a year after release.

You thought Sony and MS fanboys were bad...

Apple console fanboys will destroy us all.
If you think Apple "fanboys" (read:people who actually know something about macs instead of bashing them with arguments 10 years out of dare) are bad you've never seen linux fanboys.


And if Apple made a console it'd probably be like a 360 that never crashes,makes no noise and can run PS3 games with reduced graphics
Are you kidding me? There is almost no technical area that Macs prove better in than PCs at comparable prices. Certainly not graphic or video editing.

Ok, it's an Apple product, so I imagine it will cost ~$600 (twice of what the PS3 currently costs), it will be incredibly shiny and modern looking, have hardware somewhere between the previous console generation and the current one, and rely on small independent developers to release games and applications in an AppsStore with a more narrow focus. Of course the Apple fanboys will eat this thing up and buy another, claiming that the price and low power is totally justified for some reason or another. Yeah, I could also see the iPhone/iPod things being used as a controller...
But hey, maybe the Sony/Nintendo/MS fanboys will set aside their differences and mock this (no doubt total piece of shite) thing. Yep, I prophesize doom for this thing, and yet more money for Apple, because their customer base tends to buy shiny things impulsively...

You're more than a decade late.

Also; that controller design in the OP looks really uncomfy.
If they did it now it would probably go like this:

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...
Basically this.

If they do, I expect it to cost 600-700 dollars and be a bigger paperweight than the Wii (which is saying a lot).

Heresy I tell you it's heresy!
I wonder, when this POS comes out what can we as the gaming public do about it other
than know that even as we're speaking some Apple fanboy is playing a shit port of an actually
good game that we all know and love like HALO MW2 COD4 and even Half Life 2!
Then just sitting down onto your bed and cry yourself to sleep.

The news of it's existence sickens me.

Fancy adverts and stripped down versions of already existing products does not a profitable console make (although the Wii seems to have proved me categorically wrong on that point).
Not really, the Wii has one phenomenal innovation in the form of effective and intuitive motion controls. It's not exactly what we 'hardcore' gamers want but it is something new.

I wonder though what sort of "amazing" innovations Apple would apply to their console. Maybe it will fit into a manila envelope, have a controller that is also an iPod, and have an Apple Logo on it. That last one is all it really needs to make a profit I guess.
Yeah you're right (though they did need the add-on to actually work well). It is an innovation for more casual games and not one that I require or like. The few good games on the Wii are better with a GC controller. Kind of how the best use of a Mac is with a windows partition...

That is one the ugliest looking consoles ever, it looks like its related to dental hygenie. Concept I know, but still, ewwww.

I dislike apple greatly, but I will see where this goes. I doubt it will get me of the Pc though

So do these rumour have a source you're willing name or are you just making stuff up for the sake of stirring the fanboys up? Yeah, thought so.

If Apple were developing a games console I doubt we'd hear about it. Apple are one of the most secretive companies in consumer electronics.

Yes it's in the OP actually.

Perhaps you should try reading first before posting :/

I wouldn't be surprised if they make one and the focus if it isn't even gaming. Like it can also paint a picture or do your taxes or some bullshit.
