Twitch was surprisingly purchased this week by Amazon for reasons that are not completely known. Some have even speculated that Amazon bought Twitch just to keep it out of Google’s hands. Google (YouTube) was probably a viable fit for Twitch, but we think Apple should have been the one to pull the trigger – here is why.
One of the biggest releases of the year, Starfield, is days away from its full global release, with owners of its Premium and Constellation Editions already having had early access for a couple of days, and unsurprisingly, the excitement surrounding the space-faring RPG’s launch has resulted in increased hardware sales for Xbox as well.
It's to be expected software especially really hyped software always drives hardware sales and that's a fact! Xbox for many years has been lacking the software side so the hardware sales has always suffered..
I'm curious to what the numbers will end up being at the end of this month. That'll tell the story.
Amazon is celebrating Father's Day, as they have kicked off a new buy 2 get 1 free sale on PS4 games. Here are all the games included.
Amazon's Gaming Week event is now live through May 28. Here are all the deals you can grab for your PC or console gaming needs.
This isn't helpful. It's just a series of screenshots. The writer could have at least picked out a few sales and wrote why they are decent sales in the first place then go on to screenshot the $%&& out it. Why should we care about this content if the writer doesn't?
It would be an odd move by Apple. Apart from improving brand image (which I don't think will do much) what does Twitch do for Apple? Possibly music sales but the main focus is something Apple is in (gaming).
Amazon's purchase make a lot sense. They are the one big company to gain the most from the purchase
I dont find any of these reasons compelling for why Apple should have bought Twitch.
So they could mess it up and charge you for it? no thanks.
They don't even know about any other type of video other than .mp4, how would they even realize twitch exist?
No!!!!
Do people use their brains when they write any more? This is so far from what Apple actually does.
I'm also a little surprised that Amazon actually picked this up, but I guess them trying to get into the gaming industry may be part of this.
