[citation][nom]sandmanwn[/nom]I don't see the point in this article. Its just a lot of hearsay.I suppose if I play along then I can say that if they buy EA then the only PC platform that sucks at gaming will pick up a gaming company that only puts out games that suck and there will be equilibrium in the Mac universe.[/citation]
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY !!!!!!
next thing up DRM for macs !!!!
nah i don't think eitehr of the these things are likely to happen, I mean seriously EA is a massive company int eh game industry while apple is only a bit part player in the PC market, granted they ahve revived them selves from death with products like the ipod (that i swear i will never own). but EA honestly is not in any finacial trouble, i doubt thye are lookign to get bought.
as for an apple console ROMFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah .. right
Sega a compnay with bigger brains in teh console market got killed on teh previous generation proving thr market did not have space for 4 consoles. as it is now sony is having poor struggling sales with ps3 , if they were not such a massive entertainment company in general , and were just a game company they would be looking at chapter 11 right now, but sony has room to loose money , with blu ray royalties , thier music lable buisness , their movie studios and the 1000's of other electronic gadgets they make... I highly doubt that apple could "cut: in to the console market much less maintain teh income it requires to keep a sinking console from dying (which is what they would have to do. All new console companies will struggle at first if not out right sink , look how long ms had to struggle before they took seocnd place , original xbox stayed at 3rd place it's entire life cycle)
so no i doubt eitehr of these thigns are what is going on ,,, i cant beleive the wildest adn dumbest rumors that crop up.
more than likeley i suspect , they are lookign for a way to priotizea tiop end vid card (ie take an ati /nivida chip but slap it to thier own design of PBC) while this is also just a stab in the dark of a guess ... i think it is actually far more likely than the stupid rumors up top
