Apple can challenge Sony and Microsoft in console war.
This thread outlines further rumors that Apple could if they wanted to, enter the world of console gaming. There is not specific details coming from Apple at this time but further rumors have emerged since that from October.
EA's VP Patrick Soderlund seems to believe that only Apple could challenge Sony and Microsoft in the console war, this may be because of the success they have had over the past few years and the release of there revolutionary iMac's and the iPhone. According to Patrick soderlund anyone else but Apple would fail in this competative market.
With previous rumors of You must login or register to view this content. that hovered around late october time so have things moved on? Will Apple really make a move on the video game market? Well as they have already acquired deals with developers to create games for there other formats such as the iPad i don't see why they could not use this to there advantage. Although it would take Apple a while to get up to the standards of the Xbox or the Playstation and what they have to offer.
Patrick Soderlund was also asked what he thought would happen if apple decided to make a move on the video game market and if they could really compete, he had this to say:

"I still think it's going to be extremely hard for them but they've surprised many people before.
"Look at what they did with the iPhone, right? They are a truly brilliant company so I would give them a relatively good chance to succeed if they tried."[/quote][/LEFT]
So with apples quest to be the best in there market and there seemingly amazing tendency to create revolutionary products, i do not see why they could not compete even if they are years behind. It still seems that the rumors of his are flying around and have been outstanding since October is it a sign of things to come?
