MarkusDarkus Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Sit's waiting for Pippin comments. I wouldn't because I know it would be grossly overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted July 20, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted July 20, 2010 Nope probably be overpriced/underpowered and/or be more closed off than anything on the market just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 No. They would limit games (for "protection"). Digital Downloads only It would use last-gen tech selling for next gen prices You couldn't resell games or buy used Best of all, if you hold the controller the wrong way, it wouldn't work.

obiwong Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 i already have one it's called iPhone seriously tho i go where the games are, no brand loyalty in the console war. if Capcom announces that they're making MvC3 exclusively for the Apple console then i'm getting an Apple console.

blooregard Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 It depends. I'm usually anti-super-closed-Apple devices (as in iPhones, iPads...) for several reasons, but I like their computer line (although I don't have any). With that said, I would consider buying their console depending on games, features, price and current gen competiton. My PS3 is already a super-closed device... (but I don't use it as a computer or a computer-like device, just as a videogame console and media center). I think the poll should have a "Maybe" or similar option. Some people will say yes even if it is ultra-expensive and crappy, and other people will say no because Apple is banned in their lives... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 If the thing actually brought something to the competitive market, would be fairly priced, would provide exclusive features or games found on no other platform and had a great controller comparable to the 360 controller, then yes. Will it happen? Hahaha, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etempest Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Apple would just be providing the platfrom. If they had good games, then yes. If they were not enough games that interest me, then no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XIII Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Nope, it probably has bad Wifi performance and if you complain to Apple, they would answer: "just avoid playing it that way"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zerokool316 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 i wouldnt buy it cause just like their app store it will be censored to steve jobs liking, 2 i dont feel like hearing the words your holding the controller the wrong way when it cant communicate with the console Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 No, the only reason I have a console now is the that the wife is addicted to Mario games. I doubt Mario is coming to Apple or anyone, anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but you would have to make a choice :) Maybe isnt really correct for this. BTW, I laugh at Apple too but the "holding it the wrong way" thing is kinda getting old. It was funny at first like Rick Roll but people have so overkilled the joke, its now just lame..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Anarkii Subscriber² Posted July 20, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted July 20, 2010 You know, I can't see any reason why I wouldn't. If it was innovative in hardware like the PS3, (for it's time) and affordable, yep, I would buy an Apple console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thechronic Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 If apple made a console they'd have to make the price at least somewhat reasonable to stand a chance. That said, with the dedicated Apple fans out there buying anything with their logo on it i bet it would probably sell well. I think though, they'd have to go down the road that Nintendo did with the Wii and go for Novelty, family orientated gaming as opposed to providing a powerful, sheep raping graphic whoring son of a bitch hardcore console.

nowimnothing Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 It's impossible to answer that without knowing details. Would I buy it just because it's an Apple device? No. Would I NOT buy it just because it's an Apple device? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 How are we even supposed to answer this? We have no clue what it would be like. If it were competitive, though, and had great games then yes, I would. It would use last-gen tech selling for next gen prices Like the Wii? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹ Posted July 20, 2010 Subscriber¹ Share Posted July 20, 2010 No, because if I didn't hold the controller the right way, it wouldn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
