Why Apple didn't release their own console?

I thought that manchildren are their market

Because they're too dumb.

The new Apple TV was supposed to be just that but they forced all games to use the remote so that crippled it from day one.

Google could do it but they suck at Marketing.

OUYA was android based console so I don't think that google will release own console after that shit
>>
>>321673286
I don't think I've ever seen a manchild with a Apple product, if anything they're the type that hates Apple with a passion despite never actually using a product from them. There is that one guy though that dresses like Steve Jobs and has all his products on display on his shelf though

It's pretty unfathomable that giant corporations are so afraid to tap into a market that rolls billions of dollars. Even if they're too scared to do consoles, where are the AAA apple and google games? BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

Because they know mobile gaming would become more profitable.
>>
>>321675396
So why no home console/handheld hybrid like WiiU?
>>
Video Game consoles are not insanely profitable.
>>
>>321675396
ding dong

>>321675540
because those aren't mobile.

They did, and it was a disaster. It cost as much as desktop computer, and it had no exclusives at all.
>>
>>321675540
Why bother? Like it or not mobile gaming is more profitable than console gaming.
>>
*Why did Apple not*
>>
>>321675673
No? I thought that yuo can go outside with that tablet thing
>>
>>321675964
Maybe outside to your yard before it loses signal. That's not mobile.

I really don't understand how Apple survived all the fuck ups they had.
>>
>>321676173
Probably because everything they do is a half ass effortless and cheap attempt, they just keep making such attempts until something catches on with many retards.
>>
>>321676173
Well, they got bailed out by Bill Gates that one time.
>>
Steve jobs really didnt seem to care about the video game market
>>
>>321676173
>>321676425
The Pippin was made during the time that Steve Jobs had been fired from Apple, and the iPod and iPhone were made after he was brought back. And then, he died, and now Apple is falling into a hole again. Rather than trying to find the next big fad, they are just trying to keep up with Android.
>>
>>321676676
He used to work at Atari, though.
>>
Hipsters dont like the idea of idea games. You think they'd use an "iplay" in their starbucks? Get real.
>>
>>321673286
>constantly inserts the fact that he owns a pc
>calls others manchildren
>>
>>321676792
that makes the whole thing even weirder
>>
>>321677021
Eh, I dunno, probably was just a job for him.
>>
Because they know normalfags don't actually play games.
Apple TV can play shit mobile games, that's about it.

Mobile games rarely look good on a high definition television set.
