Developing Wii's virtual console into the App Store and making it avaliable on the next generation along with the other Apps already avaliable. If Apple and Nintendo could team up for the next generation then they could come out with a console that is able to appeal to non-gamers for its user friendlyness (a strong suit of Nintendo) and a High-Def resolution and processing unit and innovative technology (something Apple has been a pioneer at for years). If Apple were smart they would team up with Nintendo for the future of gaming.

Buying EA isn't a road to becoming a console maker because with console exclusivity there's no way EA is profitable (even without it, it's not doing so good). There is no price at which it's worth it for EA to sell which is also worth it for a hardware maker to buy... particularly a hardware maker who has a strong need to build exclusivity into its model (and, economic requirements aside, I don't believe Apple is capable of acting any other way).

Macs are better than your cheap pc because one you don't understand how slow your cheap parts are. 2 thier is more reliable. 3 once you buy all the accories needed to use anything advanced other than solitaire , you have spent the same or more for pc. Apple could definitly compete. Xbox360 is basically dead. Ps3 has maybe 2 good titles and lots of issues. Both have shorty workmanship. Although xbox will soon have wii like controls. But apple could easily break the mold for next gen games. Or compete with the DS. @name
