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,"

MayaUMP Apple can't kill all the other major companies... or can it?
That my friend is the right question.
I personally do not think that they can right now. Maybe in the future though.

DrumstepME0WA_Random_GuyyyPGADSR Microsoft prices are typically high but hopefully the 720 won't be that high
Yeah, hopefully they don't go overboard on the starting launch price.
They will. But it will probably be worth it.
I think you are thinking of Sony, Microsoft prices their consoles right.
Ms charges 300 for a 250 gb console, while sony charges 300 for a 500 gb console. And then there is paying for gold so before you say ms charges less than sony, do some research first .
You got the pricing right but Xbox is better
