Microsoft: Valve isn't a threat to consoles; everyone is wary of Apple
"The scale of products and things that are being brought to market are probably a little bit richer when I look at Sony, Nintendo, Apple and Google," he says.
Valve boss Gabe Newell recently noted that Apple is the Steam Box's (Image above) biggest threat, since it already controls such a large portion of the market with the App Store.
Nat Brown, the man who gave the original Xbox its name and former Microsoft leader, also sees Apple's potential to own the console game.
"Apple, if it chooses to do so, will simply kill PlayStation, Wii U and Xbox by introducing an open 30 percent-cut app/game ecosystem for Apple TV,"

BackHandLegendTakeTheDamnPiLL I think it'd be pretty sick for an apple type of console. Though I don't think i'd really enjoy apps/etc. on console... It'd be sick to add to regular games though.
If Apple joins the console market, expect overpriced hardware made out of aluminum, glass, and crappy motherboards.
that is soooo true

oH-Killcam-ScStarify Honestly, Apple seems to be doing too much right now. I understand they want to bring in more money, but it could also hurt them if a project does go bad. Maybe not bad, but it all adds up in the end.
Exactly, they have like 30 different iPads! It's crazy
Every company is releasing so many things right now, It's that time of year, as you said, if they make something bad by accident, it could stuff them up.

Since when is Steam considered a 'console'? But I'm going to admit people are moving towards PC these days. It's efficient.
