Because there's no market in it. Game consoles are small potatoes compared to what they're already in (and going into in the near future).

Microsoft still hasn't seen a profit on the hardware for their two console systems...just losses. They gain the profit from the games.

6 months? Pfff! That's not vintage, it's almost new. There are people reviving threads that are two or more years old! :P

Yea, I remember that thread from 2004 and then someone answered it a month ago... But that can happen. Most people dont look at the date of the last post, including me.

It seems like Apple is simply not interested at all in game consoles - the chart thing in the keynote 2007 has game console being the lowest, and mobile phones being the highest, and that's the reason why they made iPhone.

I wouldn't want Apple to enter the console market. The last thing we need is a third company entering the gaming market for all the wrong reasons.
