                    It's stupid considering in the gaming bisiness having a good hardware is just part of the entrire requirement. What about IPs in games? Apple wil fall flat on their face because of it.

                      If they put m1 or m1x, that will be insane and this device will be good for genshin impact, honkai star rail, diablo immmortal or other mobile mmorpgs like mir4 odin valhalla rising etc

                        Which has the slowest processor in the mainstream gaming space

                        And I can never understand western game developers

                        Their philosophy is MAX GRAPHICS , MAX SPECS

                        Meanwhile Eastern philosophy for gaming.. MAKE IT FUN!

                        Apple will have a niche but to compete with Nintendo they Stand no chance

                        And here is the irony iPhone users always say it's not about specs when it comes to thier phones....

                        But now they claim apple has a chance because they have power chipset specs 🤣

Apple has more money than Microsoft and has fastest mobile chipsets in the world. So thats a start. Also they produce already handheld devices, not like Microsoft. Microsoft suck ass in handheld Market. I would bet any day money on Apple succeeding in console handheld marlet than Microsoft.

                                    I see this as the most major threat to Nintendo yet. Sure it won't change much in their native market in Japan, but I see it can be a major disturbance to it's market in the rest of the word.
                                    It all depends on the price of the hardware and the quality of the games. Apple got the money to blow and if they play their cards right they can really change the tide and create a truly powerful competitor.

                                      Apple got the money and provide the software.
                                      games make all the difference.
