Should Apple Enter The Gaming Market?

These are mysterious times. Mysterious indeed. Apple, after dominating the music industry and making a respectably deep dent in the cellphone industry. The Apple TV is also running decently enough, making sure that Apple can invade your TV screens as well. The only field left is… book publishing? No, video games.

According to Don Reisinger here at Cnet, this is not only plausible, but actually should and will most likely happen. Reisinger speculates that Apple in fact, has the ball rolling and will jump into the market sooner or later. Despite the market’s hard-coded domination by Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo, Apple will break in. Then again, it’s the only company that can break into the market on their own.

Apple’s focus on hardware and it’s controlling standard entertainment media such as TV, music, your computer and so on, only points at a game console next. Apple also the money to spare, Reisinger notes: $20 billion, which can give it not only a console, but an Xbox-Live style gaming experience that may thrash Microsoft.

What do you think? Will Apple enter the gaming market?

  1. I hope Apple doesn’t go gaming for apples. har har

    But yeah when Microsoft entered the arena, they destroyed any potential future for Sega. If Apple enters, they’ll destroy Sony. My eyes are tearing.

  2. I actually hope so,
    Windows people HATE apple PC’s and vise versa,
    but I think a gaming console by apple is gonna be loved by everyone, windows, linux, apple…
    Just like the iPod’s everyone has it.

  3. if apple enters gaming it will make blue ray look like crap, and imagine wat will happen 2 Nintendo. if Nintendo goes bankrupt every 12 year old kid will cry themselves to sleep
