EA's VP Patrick Soderlund told Computer and Video Games that Apple would have a good chance of competing in the console market:

Quote:

"We asked Soderlund whether, if Apple were to make a move into mainstream gaming, it could challenge the big two with a console of its own. "If it was anyone but Apple, I'd say that's going to be very hard," he replied. "I still think it's going to be extremely hard for them but they've surprised many people before. "Look at what they did with the iPhone, right? They are a truly brilliant company so I would give them a relatively good chance to succeed if they tried."

I tend to agree with Soderlund, I'd even say Apple could buy a few big name publishers to get its console idea going (with all its extra cash on hand) and link it with its existing platforms. It'd make a lot of sense and would really make a splash if it ever happened. Doubtful we'll see anything like this for awhile though.
