Jim Dalrymple, linking to this piece by Austin Sweeney on Apple and the console market:
The big question for me is will it be easier for the console makers to convince the public they have an entertainment device or for Apple to convince the gamers they have a gaming device?
Crazy-ass DRM stuff aside, the vast majority of complaints surrounding the Xbox One is that Microsoft is going after the living room at the expense of the gamer experience. Now, the company is trying to reaching out to the community with changes, but it may be too little too late. Could Apple connect with the gaming community? Do they even need the hardcore guys to pull this off?
