    apple have shown for years they don't understand a single thing about gaming beyond the "bored housewives" core demographic who would consider an ipod or phone a capable gaming machine

    Re: Apple craving for bigger bite of videogames industry?

    How can Apple be craving the video market if they do not allow you to change a graphics card within your system, heaven forbid thinking of actually running 2 cards in there?

    Not only that games makers have been trying to make games for the MAC for years and struggled as there is nothing like Direct X (no not him above) installed to assist.

    You'll find that games makers are complaining, such as the link Here

    Maybe they're just covering the patents for when the revenue of the flash based mp3 players dwindles to nothing and then they can go and chase money owed to them

    I wonder how ludicrously priced it would be?

    NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii, GBA, DS, PSone, PS2, PSP, PS3 60gb, XBOX, XBOX 360, Master System, Game Gear, Mega Drive, Saturn, Dreamcast, PC Engine, Neo Geo CD

    I doubt this will happen. I'd guess they're just protecting patents.
