Will Apple Disrupt the Gaming Console Market?

Between the upcoming release of iOS 7, which introduces third-party gaming controller standards, and a new generation of Wi-Fi, Apple will have the necessary tools to full-on compete against Sony and Microsoft in the console gaming market. The timing couldn't be better for Apple, considering Sony and Microsoft won't be releasing their next generation consoles until the holiday season – right after iOS 7 goes live.

This rumour has been circulating for so long with such little basis I am bored at the thought of it.

The author AppleTV-99 bucks then an Idevice which costs as much as a system with the games we know n love. HHmm..no

How long have people been asking this question still nothing is shown to back it up. Ios doesn't have good enough games to take over any console market not even mobile imo. Also Ios 7 takes a lot of things from android and is behind too me. Also with the new key lime pie android coming out soon IOS 7 won't even be a big deal as much as apple makes it out be.

These games are popular because they are convenient and simple. No way I would but when I could simply swipe on my phone. Next gen console is the only systems I want on my tv.

Allsystemgamer3948d ago

I can see it now. A 1200$ console. 200$ controllers. 90$ per game. $100 online fee. $100 needed cables that don't come with the console to connect to the tv applecrap-hdmi. Etc.

More mobile games. Can't believe the last command and conquer game was Tiberian Twilight not only was it a awful game. It was 13 years ago.

EA have been trying to shoehorn C&C into a live service/ mobile game since 2009 it's not happening now give us another generals

SpacedDuck239d ago

Disgusting that this IP has outside of the excellent C&C Remastered been regulated to awful mobile games.

Command and Conquer should have had a passionate team assigned and come roaring back years ago.

VincentVanBro214d ago

If we needed further evidence that EA is dumb as hell with their IP, behold their latest blunder
