BGR: Let’s just be honest… we are at the absolute end of the road for gaming consoles. There is no reason that you are going to need a dedicated gaming machine in the next year or two — you probably don’t even need one now. What makes this more troubling for Microsoft’s upcoming Xbox One and Sony’s PlayStation 4 is that this big, heavy, bulky, hot and loud gaming consoles have to last for an extremely long time in order for them to be profitable for each company. We have been on a 7 to 8-year life cycle for game consoles for the last couple decades, and that model isn’t going to be sustainable going into the future. In fact, Nintendo can’t even sell its brand new Wii U.
This is where Apple comes in.

Aaaand that's where I stopped reading. Just because every wannabe tech-site is madly in love with making a yearly $500 purchase of the newest Apple toy doesn't mean gamers are the same way. We just came off the highest-selling gaming generation of all time (both for consoles and for handhelds).
We were told Apple was going to kill the DS, and instead DS became the best-selling handheld in the history of gaming.
Yeah...
"There is no reason that you are going to need a dedicated gaming machine in the next year or two — you probably don’t even need one now."
What, exactly, is this assumption based on? I can promise you I need and *want* a dedicated gaming machine.
Apple just dropped the atomic bomb on the gaming industry and no one realizes it yet.
Clueless people will say "but those iOS games wont complete with Halo 5 / The Last of Us, etc." But they're wrong. They will.
