Should the PS4 and Xbox 720 have iPad integration?

The Nintendo Wii U will be released sometime in 2012, and with it a rather unique controller, which has been dubbed the WiiPad. The game giant is hoping that this new controller will have what it takes to persuade gamers to buy the new Wii U console and not the PlayStation 3 or the Xbox 360. With this is mind do you think that the PS4 and the Xbox 720 should go down a different route and have iPad integration instead?

NO!

Options are always a good thing. If they wanted to add some form of integration that would be fine. But don't dare make it a needed peripheral. I wouldn't even piss on an apple product if it were on fire. But as I said- options are always nice regardless of who is (or not) going to use it.

[subtenko]

Why the F not? Put in iphone integration while your at it... I wish I could transfer files (songs, gamesaves, etc.) wirelessly without having to take my usb form my computer to my ps3

Also, I'd liek to see some sort of remote play involved too. The only phone with remote play on ps3 is that one sony ericsson phone.

So yes....nothing wrong with the integration. I think people are assuming for it to use as the systems main controller..then yea a NO to that (besides remote play).

This way, I can also send messages to my ps3 friends list without being on the ps3! So if your not supporting the ipad and iphone, at least support more devices. I only have the iphone but I'd like for people to have more options than no option at all.

Agree or Disagree if you Agree

Microsoft will not embrace apple will they? i wouldt if i was microsoft

[Fishy Fingers]

MS are the reason Apple are still around. In the late 90s they injected money ($150m) into Apple to ensure they're survival. Perhaps payback for coping them originally.

Although yeah, now Apple are in very good shape (clawing at market share), I dont think MS will be offering them anymore support.

[barb_wire]

And look at Apple now - zero debt and $76 Billion in CASH..

"Both Sony and Microsoft could do something very clever here, and instead of adapting one of their own tablets – which we know are limited – they could ask for help from Apple. You may wonder why on earth all three would want to venture into a partnership, but it would be a win for all three involved."

The issue with this is that the device isn't specifically made for the console. If MS/Sony went their way they would be able to create a tablet that could fully utilize the console.Apple could always add that function into their own Ipad, but it just isn't the same. The devices aren't built for each other.

Personally i hate the idea of Tablet gaming. WiiU looks interesting and all, but i would rather stick with a simple controller then have some large tablet. I like PSVita for the size, but it isn't something forced on the Console to use as a controller.

Plus

Expect MS to embrace Kinect more in the future of their console gaming.

keep yer iGimmicks away from our consoles

[iamnsuperman]

This is stupid for several reasons. Does this author know what apple is and what it is about. Apple is more than just a company now its an image (why the can sell their products at high prices-eliteist) Why would they want intergration with rival companies and visa versa. Not to mention the costs of ipads. Best option is to have there own tablets that intergrate

[NanoSoldier]

I'm glad I didn't get on that Apple Hype Train. Never ever had an application of them and I won't buy one in the next years.

[skrug]

exactly, ipad cost more than a console... lol

and plus Apple likes their closed system

[Fishy Fingers]

Seeing Sony and MS are already involved in making tablets (ipads competitor) I find it highly unlikely. Actually thats to polite, I find even the idea to be retarded.

[iamnsuperman]

I get the feeling that people are not thinking anymore when they write these articles.

[Der_Kommandant]

No!!!!

Keep the hipsters off of my PS4!

[Jihaad_cpt]

amen brother

Lol what?

[Stealth2k]

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH

Is this the best bs someone can write about?

[Angrymorgan]

Wow, you guys don't like apple much do you lol

[Ares84]

I like Apple somewhat, Got an iPhone 4 (well 2) and an iPad 2 plus a nano but don't want iPad integration.

[Cpt_kitten]

never, minus the computers which are actually good for something apple products aren't even aloud in my house...refuse to touch those pieces of junk

[Ares84]

No dude! Last thing I want is a WiiU looking controller.

[buckley]

I'd sooner see them embracing the Android platform since there's more than, you know, ONE device that can run it.

But even then, I don't see a reason for this at all.

[KwietStorm]

Gaming. I used to love her. Now she's into this new fad, waving her arms around all wild, getting involved with the wrong crowd, dabbling in shovelware. Now she wants me to play with her on a tablet. She used to love my thumbs. Said I did it like nobody else could. Gaming. I used to love her.

[jacksheen0000]

I think the PS4 and Xbox 720 should have i-Pad integration implemented to their controller because I hate having to pause in the middle of my game play just to look at the Map/weapons list/Etc.

[tigertron]

The PS4 doesn't need the Ipad, especially as the Ipad isn't even a designated games console, unlike the Vita, which suits the PS4 perfectly.

[maniacmayhem]

If the WiiU is a success expect sony and ms to copy Just like they did with motion controls.

[jdfoster00]

Yes... The PSV??

[kramun]

What a stupid question.

[SKUD]

I know MAC needs more games but this isn't the way to do it.

[tehReaper]

Windows 8 and PS Vita(or Sony tablets) would make more sense.

Apple is like a disease that doesn't go away. We don't need to spread it around on our future consoles.

[BlmThug]

Blasphemy. Hell No
