Re: From the land of What If: A console built by Apple
The iGame, a console built by Apple would be pretty cool, I think. Its design would match the style of its computers and iPods; simple and elegant.
Following the Apple reputation, the console would likely be more expensive than its competitors. For that extra money you'd be getting a much more polished and constructed product though.
It would definitley have online playability which would also connect to the iTunes Music store and the service would most likely be integrated with the .Mac service. Where you get your special Apple e-mail address and I.D., storage space, etc...
Like Jeepnut mentioned, Apple would integrate their iPods for music options and also possibly game data storage. I think they'd also integrate their iSight cameras and iChat software for voice and video capabilities.
The Apple iGame would also feature a built in DVD burner so you could burn your favorite video game moments to DVD and then pop it into your Mac computer to make cool video game iMovies and iPhoto albums. You could also use Apple's GarageBand to compose your video game music scores for those intense moments in racing, fighting, and shooting.
Once you beat a game, you'd have the option to use Apple's Keynote to deliver a presentation on your enjoyment and adventure in the game.
Using Apple's iCal software, you and your friends could make appointments over the internet and schedule video game get togethers. Then using Apple's iSync software, you could upload your top scores and video game schedules to your Bluetooth enabled cell phone and PDA.
iGame. Think different.
