"Meanwhile, Tortora says there is “new evidence that Apple has hired video game designers,” which he says suggests that “Apple may have interest in entering the video game market longer-term.”
I would anticipate they'd be modding the Mac Mini or iMac to be top-notch gaming machines rather than getting into the evolutionary dead-end of dedicated game consoles. I hope AAPL can gain some traction here, but I have doubts. There big problem with regards to games is simply that PC's get more attention from developers because of the disaparate marketshare. Which is a shame for a number of reasons not the least of which is the fact that developing Mac software is said to be much easier than developing Windows software on account AAPL's "Cocoa" (OPENSTEP-based) programming API's.
