찌라시)애플이 콘솔시장 재진출을 위해 현재 내부적으로 논의중 : 클리앙

대만발입니다. 외부 컨설팅까지 동원해서 타당성 조사를 하고 있다는 소문입니다. 현재 정식적인 콘솔기기를 투입하는 방법부터 애플tv를 콘솔화 시키는 방법등 여러가지 방법에 대해 논의중에 있으며 독점작을 위해 유수의 게임회사들에게도 자문을 구하고 있다고 합니다. 현재 캡콤 및 유비소프트가 적극적이라고 합니다.

As long as it can run Fortnite on max settings it'll do great.

 

[yurinka]

Yes, Apple has been working on it for a while. Let's hope it's priced under $3999.

 

[kyliethicc]

So basically the Apple TV box becomes the Apple Arcade box. Meh. iOS games.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Pippin sucked so will be their next effort.

 

[kingfey]

MS spent $76b on bethesda and activision. No way apple, amazon and google will sit down.

 

[retsof624]

After seeing the Mac Studio, I think Apple could make a great console

 

[Kimahri]

Please don't. We need less fragmentation, noy more.

Still pissed Fantasian is an Apple exclusive.

 

[remember_spinal]

Apple Arcade box

 

[Dr Bass]

Why not. Create a dedicated apple controller that can work on everything. They’ve immediately got the biggest gaming ecosystem in the world from the word “Go” at that point. Would be interesting to see how that would all go down.

 

[The Cartographer]

Reading Ubisoft and Capcom next to exclusive games made me chuckle a little.

 

[Plantoid]

ARM based 200w console with games that can be easily scaled back to iOS would be huge, remember that casuals are the grand majority of people "gaming"

Of course it all depends on third party support

 

[Doom85]

Pippin sucked

Dude fucked up one time, can’t we forgive him already?

They do, it is called a dualsense controller. They partnered with Sony, they showcased the controller and they talked about games on the Apple tv. They also partner with Nintendo, so these rumours make no sense at all unless they want to push macOS as a gaming system alternative... but they are very very very late.

If anything, last time we had these type of rumours about Apple... MS went all crazy and the xbox one was born.

 

[DaleinCalgary]

re-enter?

 

[gradient]

Go away Apple

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Will they be buying SEGA on Wednesday though?

 

[Zeroing]

Yeah but... would be an appealing price? I doubt it. The Apple tax is getting even more ridiculous than ever.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Apple should first investigate opening a development studio themselves and publish on existing devices (console, PC, mobile, etc.).

The name of the game is the game.

 

[reinking]

Apple TV is competitively priced against premium streaming devices. Apple phones are competitively priced against premium Android phones.

I currently use Android, but I will make the switch if they offer something compelling. My daughter is all in on the Apple eco system and frankly her Apple TV is more compatible than both my Roku and Android TV's. I have been contemplating getting Apple Arcade lately for my single Apple device which is an iPad mini.

 

[CleverCaviar]

Apple have never, traditionally, "got" games, or gaming. Same as Google. They don't understand the audience, they struggle to market to them, they're baffled by what's liked at any one time. It's not media professionals, it's not lifestyle tastemakers: it's something they would struggle to send their carpet-bomb marketing approach towards.
Plus, if it's a view of the world such as seen with their music, film, or application curators, no thanks. It will be anaemic tripe.

 

[ReBurn]

I had 3 months of Apple Arcade for free when I bought my last iPhone and I never played any of the games. It's good if you like mobile games but I didn't enjoy it. You can already play Apple Arcade on an AppleTV. If this is why they plan to bring to a console I'm not interested.

I use Apple devices since their Steve Jobs era. All I notice is them cheapening things and making their products more expensive.
The premium Android phones are expensive because of Apple. They throw everything into the phone to make their android phones look expensive/match an iPhone price.
Not saying Apple does not make good products, they still do but the pricing been getting ridiculous over the years.

 

[Damigos]

I dont see a place for a 4th one.
Except if they start buying out other companies

That’s called inflation, not exclusive to Apple.

 

[Ladioss]

I'm ready for the "Apple to buy Sony by the end of the year" rumor mill madness, will be fun ;p

[ManaByte]

Apple Arcade box

You joke, but Apple Arcade has been landing some exclusives like Mistwalker's latest RPG.

 

[DonJuanSchlong]

Wonder how much inflation affected the 1k stand they came out with a few years ago?

 

[Kerotan]

Please no.

The problem with Apple is they still think they run a little company from the 2000's that they are edgy, different and not mainstream.

I find it funny that people argue that the gaming industry is censoring games, forcing things etc etc etc... well those people clearly do not know what Apple does...

No it is not.

 

[kirby007]

So they consider buying Sony?

 

[remember_spinal]

I’m not joking

Wait... what?

 

[sendit]

No excuses there. This is Apple being Apple. They should have sold the stand with the monitor. A bargain in comparison to reference monitors that Apple is marketing this towards.

No it is not.

How else would you explain rising cost? Increased demand of features, services, raw material, wages, etc…are all factors of inflation. And again, this isn’t exclusive to Apple.

 

[jm89]

Nah you good.

 

[oldergamer]

Which is a total nothing burger

 

[Javthusiast]

How to re-enter the market? Buy Sony.

 

[oldergamer]

This rumor has been popping up on these forums for the last 3 or 4 years. Id put no more weight in what i hear now compared to the previous times.

If they do it, i will drive to the apple store in my apple shaped car and hook that baby up to my apple tv.

 

[PSYGN]

Just buy all the companies while you're at it. And create another subscription service. Ez.

 

[nani17]

Fuck off apple go back to making overpriced items

 

[AJUMP23]

He was a fool of a took.

You’re telling me that cheap labor, aluminum and glue got very expensive?
Tim Cook gets payed a fortune every month… yeah definitely inflation!

 

[K' Dash]

please do, I'd like to see them curb stomped to hell and back.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

The gaming industry already is a dumpster fire of epic proportions. I don't care anymore. Bring it, Apple!

 

[DonF]

Please dont.

 

[TrebleShot]

Would love to see it but this rumour seems to crop up every month now. Never happens, they already dominate the gaming market.

 

[Ailike]

Rumor: Apple is internally having talks to see if they can enter -any- market if itll make them money. They'd enter the dog food market if they knew they could do it easily and successfully.
