Let me know when you can run GTA 5 on your Apple TV, and then we can talk about how this is horrible for consoles.
Smartphones have already stolen away the casual gamer. The people playing call of duty and final fantasy are not the people who will be wowed by the apple TV.
If you look at sales data for the Wii, there is a ton of people who bought a Wii, which game with Wii sport and then bought very few games. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_Wii_video_games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_Wii_video...)
This will simply solidify that casual market into iPhone and Android apps. Consoles have nothing to fear IMO.
- Tloewald 11y agoOK: I expect GTAV will run just fine on the new hardware -- the A8 will crush the PS3 hardware. Obviously it won't run the remaster for the newer hardware, but really who cares? The old PS2 GTA titles had to be remastered for the iPhone and run fine on an iPhone 4. I for one am sick of slow level loading and endless patches; every time I play on a console I want to throw something through the screen. And I've yet to see a single compelling PS4/XB1 title come out (I have high hopes for No Man's Sky).
