http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Computer (extra research)
It seems that since Nintendo has been around and producing video game system they have kind of followed the same model as the Apple Computer. Like the N64 it was an expensive proprietary format, relatively sparse releases, an insular corporate culture, but also offered the same ultimate benefit: powerful hardware and quality software. Here are some examples to show that; Apple makes computers and laptops that are translucent blue or orange with white accents and soon after that Nintendo comes out with games that are same thing. Then Apple comes out with a compact, cube-shaped computer that founders in the marketplace and Nintendo comes out with a compact, cube-shaped console that founders in the marketplace. So it seems where Apple leads, Nintendo seems to follow in lockstep. Well now Apple is now going to go into the video game system business. They suddenly felt like that video games are the future and that is a very different change of pace for that company. They also have very big ties with gaming developers, so it seems they have the right people for the job. Of course have made big news with the Ipod and recently the IPod touch and with that they had some games that was available. If they do use the IPod for gaming it will most likely be like the Nintendo DS and PSP consoles. I think that it would be cool if Apple decided to join some of the other companies and start making video games and consoles because that could help out the consumer. With another company that drives the prices down and there of course will give them more of a choice of games. I think that will be very successful in making games because everyone loves the IPod and Apple has got this development and selling of technology down pat.
