The iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad all have become some of the most popular mobile gaming devices in the world, despite but being overtly manufactured and promoted to the masses as such. Apple has still managed to attract masses of mobile gamers to it’s iOS gadgets to such an extent that leading video game system makers are feeling the heat. As a result, one of the video game industry’s biggest names (Electronic Arts) suggests that Apple would be wise to take its reach onto video game territory even further. EA Vice President, Eric Soderlund told ComputerandVideoGames.com (CVG) that Apple is one of the few companies in the world that could still take a big chunk out of the console gaming market. “If it was anyone but Apple,” suggests Soderlund, “I’d say that’s going to be very hard. I still think it’s going to be extremely hard for them but they’ve surprised many people before.”

Apple could take this challenge through Apple TV, especially if application support is introduced to the product. Even without Apple giving the gaming market an endorsed push, developers seem to be doing fine just on their own, effectively making incalculable sums of cash off of the hottest games in the app world today. That is perhaps why Nintendo Chief of America Reggie Fils-Aime commented this fall that Apple is a “bigger threat” to Nintendo than Microsoft. “Look at what they did with the iPhone, right?” Soderlund asked rhetorically. “They are a truly brilliant company so I would give them a relatively good chance to succeed if they tried.”
