Get Ready for Apple TV Games
- 9 years ago
The generation of game developers who came of age in the mobile era and conquered the small screen with their simple yet addictive iPhone and iPad games can't wait to take a crack at the TV.
The latest version of the Apple TV, expected to be announced at Apple's San Francisco press event next week, will likely boast a speedier processor and a new motion-sensitive remote control that would make it a great gaming machine.
To be sure, Apple isn't mounting a direct assault on the Sony PlayStation and Microsoft Xbox video game consoles.
Instead, the Apple TV is expected to aim for the casual game market, those easy-to-play, mass-market diversions like Angry Birds or Bejeweled, whose revenue is expected to exceed the traditional console business in nine countries by 2019, according to one analysis by PwC.
