Wonder if their consoles should they make any will be accessible? We can
only hope.

[cfsp key="adsense_336x280"]"Apple may be about to make a formal
entrance into the video game console market," Evan Hanson writes for
24/7 Wall St. "Metal, the new graphics API Apple unveiled on Monday,
strongly suggests that the iPhone-maker is taking core gaming seriously.""
"With Metal, the A7 chip that powers Apple’s iPad Air is capable of
outputting graphics on par with modern consoles: /Plants vs Zombies:
Garden Warfare/, a game originally released for the Xbox One, was shown
running on Apple’s tablet," Hanson writes. "Industry observers have long
expected Apple to enter the video game console business — if it does, it
could create a new opportunity for Apple, while putting immense pressure
on the existing console players, including Microsoft."
"To some extent, Apple is already a major player in the video game
industry — last year, Apple’s customers spent $10 billion on iTunes
apps, the majority of which went to game creators. Extending this app
store model to the living room seems like an obvious move," Hanson
writes. "In November, Apple confirmed that it had acquired PrimeSense, a
company known for its work on the first-generation Kinect, the motion
and voice sensor sold as an add-on to Microsoft’s Xbox 360. Although
it’s impossible to know what Apple plans to do with PrimeSense,
including the technology in a future Apple TV video game console
wouldn’t be shocking."
