Charlie believes Apple is making a console after headhunting AMD employees. I say no, they are making 3D improvements to the iPhone so it can play more intensive games. Apple tried to make a console once, and it was a complete failure. They have no pull in the mainstream gaming community, but they could get much more simple phone games made. If you think they can compete with Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo in a home console you are wrong. Now if Sony and Nintendo decide to make gaming phones, it would get more interesting. My money would be on Nintendo. Either way, whatever any of them will make, it will break a lot, and we will fix it at Tek Republik.

In the end, the course is clear. There have been a lot of whispers floating around the valley regarding Apple and consoles. Take a hugely underrated Mac Mini or Apple TV, throw in a low power PPC SoC with a solid GPU, fire up itunes, and you have a console. Not only that, but one that snakes the living room out from under MS. If you recall, that is the very reason they developed the 360, to block Sony from owning that nexus.
