What would be smart is to pay studios like Square Enix, Bamco, Capcom, etc to port some older games over to Apples ARM chips. Give some graphics settings but not a ton, add in controller support and support other console controllers, and you'd have a very huge base of Iphone, Ipad, apple TV and upcoming ARM mac customers that could play their games across all 4 of those platforms with cross-save and it would justify the costs of the ports since there'd finally be a big enough install base to bother.
I think they'll actually do is try to moneyhat 1 or 2 games specifically aimed at the apple TVs though that will suck, get any online service on them shut down quickly and they'll go back to no gaems forever.

They're switching from x86 to ARM across the board. I'm guessing that poses an issue when it comes to multiplatform games since all other platforms except for the Switch are x86.

good thing i have ipad pro
beast chip

apple dont need no multiplats, they original games are gonna be the best of them all anyway

It's not a big deal, very few devs even know how to write code that isn't portable today.

Can't wait for this to bomb like the Apple car, Apple TV, Apple Pippin, Apple Newton, ..

You heard it here first.

but we already have Nintendo for that?!

I guess they probably can't expect to get Fortnite anytime soon but I'm sure they would want shit like CoD, FIFA and Madden if they're going for the home console market.

I literally know almost nothing about this but my understanding is that ARM requires fundamentally different instructions for the CPU compared to a x86 one. Doesn't that mean the game has to be built from the ground up differently?

Apple TV is great though

>underpowered
apple is literally gearing up to sqeeze amd and intel out of the cpu market within the next 5 years.
x86 is as good as dead.
name a single recent apple product that hasnt been a massive success.
i'll wait

>underpowered
Apple makes the fastest phones on the market by a mile. It's not even close.

Just thought about this but the default storage space for the lowest tier ipad is 32GB and the smallest storage space on the lowest tier iphone is 64GB so if they actually want the gaming crowd they're going to need to up their storage space, or require their ports to be heavily compressed.

>Apple
People obviously trust China before Apple. I'd rather not have every file on console reformatted into an unreadable mess, to be played on a proprietary app.

Why do they try so hard?

They know nobody is going to give a shit so what's the point

This just makes people want to support Epic's lawsuit even more.

>name a single recent apple product
That's hard enough on its own. They've really not done shit since Steve Jobs died other than ride his rotting dick.

>wireless controller in 1996
no fuckin way

That thing must've had a battery life of 30 minutes.
