This is not an iAds thread. Heh... not directly anyway. Why didn't anyone reply?

I think it's very possible that Apple could create a game console as a successor to the Apple TV. If it uses iOS, and GameSalad supports it, we could become game developers for an actual game console... like the Nintendo or PlayStation. That's simply amazing to me!

This could be awesome, but like u said, the future?

Only time will tell ;^)

I'm surprised Apple hasn't jumped on this earlier, but this should be very interesting, and even moreso, the pricing structure of games may have to change in the future for Gaming Giants like Nintendo and Sony.

Although with the app store as cheap as it is, Nintendo hasn't budged their pricing on portable games, but they're dominating the market with the DS anyway, it sells better than any other console, even better than PS3, Xbox etc.

Hey,

I think it helps if you provide at least a brief description of what you're linking to. Your second post, for example, made me want to click the link!

Cheers,

I believe the DS is the best selling console of all time (sorry, don't have the link to hand).

It was an SEO friendly link. Even robots can read it! :-)

As for record sales...

Yes you're absolutely right, it outsells the PS3, Xbox360 or any other console for that matter!

Never mind, I guess the PS2 is the best selling console of all time, but in this article, it says that Nintendo DS will surpass that by the end of this year

Fair enough - I just read the link.

Goes to show though - I won't even read the URL if there's no description!
