  • To be honest. I did the research when I was writing the original article but I can't recall the figures off of the top of my head. I'm not exactly sure if the Ghz are the same or not. forgive my ignorance. I also am only talking about the CPU and not the GPU. I guess the final point of mine is that Apple knows what they are doing. Microsoft doesn't 99% of the time. I hate to be in the "cult of mac" but, well, I write for this site. It kinda goes with the territory. Is nobody else out there titillated by the idea of an apple console gaming system?

    The Argument for the Pippin Continued.
  • Sheesh. All the comments I've received so far are just so overwhelmingly positive. I'm just proposing some neat new things that COULD happen. Far be it from me to say what Apple should and shouldn't do, oh wait, that's what I get paid for here. One at a time I suppose: tundraboy: you say it like it's a bad thing. 01jamcon: I am a modern gamer. Just because I don't line up with what you would want from a console doesn't mean that I'm out of touch. A wired controller isn't exactly hell anyway. It saves energy and space. My favorite system to date: N64. You forget that Apple doesn't always make things just for the technological value like other companies, most of their stuff is just intrinsically fun. Plus SSD costs are going to come down dramatically in a few years I'm sure, just because it costs a ton now doesn't mean that it will later.

    The Argument for the Pippin Continued.
  • Let's be honest though. The kind of thing I'm proposing would be on a monumental sale. In times of economic depression or recession or whatever-you-want-to-coin-it, entertainment sells. Video games are huge. Imagine the absolutely wild hysteria surrounding something involving Bungie and Apple working together again like in the Marathon series.

    What Happened to the Apple-Bandai Pippin?
  • I was thinking about the days back when Apple was the leading company in computer entertainment. I'm talking about Nanosaur, Vector Tanks, etc etc. A Mac Mini already has more than enough gusto to do just about the same work as an xbox.
