This is stupid. Iono about whether or not they would be over-priced, but since when would making video games hard to crack and hack "undesirable"?

yes! no one wants to play over priced games, that's why gen-one xbox skyrocketed in sales over ps2 when it was first introduced because ofit's

affordability. playstation made the mistake that apple is making now in thinking you're be on top forever.

microsoft stays humble...just visit apple.com and ready the cockiness. better yet the commercials about windows.

None of the ones my friends owned crashed and burned. Ever. The 360 is one of the biggest disappointments ever in terms of reliability, imo.

Apple would be smart to get into the gaming business a year or so before Microsoft and Sony come out with their next consoles to try to get a comfortable lead in sales and development. If they do everything right, they have a chance to compete. Especially with all these hype machines walking around praising Apple like the company was founded by Jesus and run by Obama.

Yeah, I thought the Xbox 360 was alright until mine completely died on me last month.

That argument has absolutely nothing to do with making video games hard to hack and crack "undesirable".

And the OG Xbox was the same price as the PS2 when it came out, so try again.

I'm sure Sega thought that was a good idea when they did that with the Dreamcast

Shovelware apps for the touch and iphone. If Apple got into the business it would have to be as a software developer, because if they did aconsole then it would work for a year then die (much like a typical ipod).

 

[therenegade23]

3 is enough. Apple should just stick to what they're doing now.

sigh dudes own an ipod shuffle and know they're certified apple consultants,

apple's software sole functionality is to animate apple's hardware (all in-house) that's why it virus and conflict free....no third party softwareand

hardware like mircosoft that leaves coding language open for hacks and cracks!


video games were cheaper than the console because i owned both and purchased first year! not the dicounted christmas price....

xbox games were way cheaper than ps2.


p.s. nice sig, only problem is a "real" hipster doesn't admit to being a hipster...

catch me on the L train greenpoint stop

I mean if they were smart they'd try to learn/collab with Nintendo. I don't see them breaking the hold Sony and M$ got on the gaming industry at themoment. Even with w/e game franchises they could get or new games they could create.

Their console would probably look clean as !@#* tho

I can tell you with about 98% certainty that we are not currently going into the dedicated video game field.

I own an iPod Classic, not Shuffle. And not once did I ever made any mention of Apple in my previous arguments.

No, Macs still get viruses.
Albeit very little, but they still get viruses. And it's not because of anything third-party, it's because of its OS. All consoles run on their own OS,so that that throws that argument out the window.

Here you are contradicting yourself. Your first post says that making games hard to hack and crack is a bad thing and now you're saying cracking andhacking is bad? You also said video games - that's software. Now here you are saying hardware.

Well, no *@+@ the video game would be cheaper than the console, Sherlock! Who doesn't know this??? But you said the Xbox was cheaper than the PS2. This iswrong. Both retailed at $200. Both games were also $50.

+%! does my sig have to do with anything???

Keep trying, you'll get it eventually.

Dreamcast was the %$%%, though

Anyways, it's a new era. Apple justhas to counter NATAL and they'll have a good chance to be competitive.

Every game system that ever came out had to come up with something, you think mario was famous before the Nintendo was even released? Yourstatement is terribly flawed.

Who says you need a flagship video game to be successful?
Sony never had one, and they didn't fail. Again, keep trying.

I mean it isn't hard. Sony hasn't failed. They made the market interesting by challenging Nintendo.

If I was chatting it up with Jobbs I'd see what's good with some old favorites or like I said before create their own flagship video game. All theywould need is a few software compaines dedicated to making long lasting games for their console. That's why I mentioned Nintendo cuz they aint even botherto go hard with graphics and they're still here and managed to absorb an old enemy

are you serious? you strike out my whole post, to say exactly what i said?

so how is my statement flawed?

some things are not so easy a caveman can do it (like posting with common sense)

 

[limitedretroog]

If you wanna be technical, the flagship game for PS1 was Crash Bandicoot, 2 was Jak and Daxter, and 3 is Ratchet and Clank,

Wait... You work for Apple and you didn't know they already made a game console?



You're going to count something that came out over 14 years ago and had abysmal sales? If you mention the Apple III, most of the people I work with willjust shake their heads and walk away.
