Apple wants the Apple TV to be a games console. But can it be trusted?

http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/sep/12/apple-tv-games-console-can-it-be-trusted




From the article It is explaining from Apple TV launch which happen a few days ago can be used for gaming as you can stream it on your Iphone, Ipad or anything which is a Apple product. The Article explains that the billion dollar company can take down Nintendo in 3rd place in the gaming console world. This would be the games they have on IOS. Examples would be games like Crossy road, Project sword which is coming out soon. The reason they believe they can compete with Nintendo is because of the new feature which is 3D touch. The 3D touch feature allows more in a game such as changing weapons. Even though they have this feature in the article it also explains if apple can do it as a app can only hold up 200MB for a game and thats not good enough as a games have to hold Giga bites of data.

  1. Apple have done 18 rated games on apple TV with parental guidance even though the company has no controlling on apps like this they would like keep the rule that Sony and micro soft have.
  2. You dont need ask permission when making the game for Apple TV as they're less controlling  on what they put just if they follow the guide lines.
  3. Apple trying to add the feature of 3D touch to gaming to make it have attention of what it can do in the gaming world. Also they have used it many games as where it can help you in shooting games.
 In my opinion I believe  that if Apple also went in the gaming business that it would take them a while to get to where Nintendo is. Nintendo has been big since the later 80's and grown from all the characters in games they have brought. Apple haven't given stories or big games just little apps which are addictive and can make more money and I'm not saying they wont be the top because of that but i believe it would just take time for them too. The business name would already make it to the top its just the content they would give.
