    Console vs iPad for Gaming?

    Just came across one of the most comical review articles of recent times. Macworld have posted this:

    It's an extremely stupid review, even if you would do mobile gaming you should do it right and get a Shield Tablet instead of an iPad.

    Re: Console vs iPad for Gaming?

    Wait, what? But, eh? I mean, but... no, just no.

    I'm not sure it's worth even saying why didn't they compare it to the Vita?

    But then again, another trendy story on their site was titled Why Google is the world's biggest threat to user privacy, and only Apple can help. Best line so far: "Apple's tentacles don't reach far enough to be the same threat to user privacy that Google can be."

    Closing the site now, before I get any more annoyed.

    You can't really compare the two. If you're looking for quick and easy game, e.g. you have 10 minutes to kill, then an iPad is fine. If you want a quality gaming session with AAA titles, then it would have to be a console. No comparison.

    Erm, AAA is just a marketing term for 'we spend a fock load of money on this'.

    AAA in no way means quality.

    Yeah, look at AC Unity when it launched last year, that was apparently AAA

    Seriously though, IPad Vs PS4, come on, really, just no
