Lives Games Room Apple strategy is already here?

Many people believe that Apple can make a move in the console gaming market. I'm always skeptical about such an idea, although it is not without precedent. But what if Apple has made its living room to play and we just have to wait until all the pieces to come together?

strategy games Apple is currently focused on the mobile space, but it can easily go into the living room. Here's why:

1. IOS is a powerful gaming platform

It is difficult to overestimate the success of the game on the touch iPhone and IPod. There are 125 million IOS devices into the hands of users and more than 40.000 games titles in App Store. Games continue to be among the best-selling applications for IOS cards.

With IOS, Apple is the most important part of the game equation cons: a solid library of software for users to choose from. While each title will not translate well to the gaming experience on the big screen, many, including Galaxy On Fire 2, reckless Racing and age of zombies. Upcoming titles like Infinity Blade, with its rich, Unreal 3 Engine graphics, addictive gameplay, show that IOS names can potentially compete with even the most ambitious console games.

2. No new hardware requirements

Apple does not need to make a game console for the living room, because he already has all the ingredients are readily available to consumers. Apple TV, IPAD, and the iPhone / IPod Touch all home consoles many people can dream of.

Third-party developers are painting a picture of how this might work. The incident, one of my favorite games IOS, recently unveiled an update that allows you to use your iPhone as a controller for IPAD. Users understand that by using Apple's own dock connector to VGA adapter, he could run the game on your TV and control it with your iPhone. Here's a video system in action:

It's a little cumbersome, but once Apple introduces application support Apple TV, or at least, goes beyond simply broadcasting movies and video streaming applications, it may be more acceptable option.

3. Additional investment from Apple is minimal

The only thing Apple has to do to move games from its mobile platform and on TV is to introduce users API. In fact, the company can only consolidate the existing API, together, and then the concept of development.

Apple may just allow people to use the VGA-connector for transferring IOS game in their televisions. However, the idea has so much potential profit that Cupertino could easily enter the IOS games for Apple TV. This would provide a major advantage for streaming media box from Apple against rivals Google.

What do you think? Is Apple working on becoming a major player on the home console game market?
