Rumor: Apple entering the Console Wars?
Ricardo Trejo
It's been talked about for the passed couple years if Apple would be joining the console wars, and games analyst, Michael Pachter of GameTrailers.com, often seen on the Bonus Round w/ Geoff Keighley, is now making a statement that he believes Apple WILL enter the fray soon.
Pachter is a firm believer that the iPod touch has turned Apple to the gaming front because of how unexpected it came about. A whole new market opened up and they see a perfect opportunity to strike while the iron is hot, and may end up going ahead and making some new hardware to enter the console wars. That being said, Pachter doesn't think that Apple will ever be a software maker and will solely provide the hardware for third party developers to make games for, which makes sense as this is exactly what the iPhone has shown through out its life cycle.
