For All You Gamers Out There...



So after all this, you’re probably wondering what does Microsoft do better? Well one thing Microsoft has that Apple has not yet been able to provide is the power to game. Microsoft has always been one of the leaders in the video gaming industry. Not only our Microsoft’s computers more suited for gaming, but they also have produced their own video game console, the Xbox and the Xbox 360. Microsoft makes and designs their own video games and owns the rights to several other games as well. Apple has not yet been successful in this field.

In 1995, Apple released a video game console called the Pippin in Japan. However, it was very unsuccessful. The only cool thing about it was it was the first gaming device that was able to access the internet via the consumers TV. “There are some features on the Pippin I think are good, like the fact it actually does enable consumer Web access via a television”(The Mac Geek). But that kind of technology at the time was way to young, also proving Apple unsuccessful in the gaming world. There are rumors floating around that Apple is trying again at creating a game system. Since Apple’s technology is currently argued as the greatest in the computer world, rumors say that it will finally be able to do just as good in the gaming world, but only time will tell.
