Everybody else is doing it, so why can’t Apple? That’s the question that went out to a Cupertino boardroom of men dressed in black polo-necks and jeans, who then voted that the company go into game console development. Something like that, anyway.
That’s according to Cult of Mac, whose secret sources claim that Apple is going into the hardware business with a “television set with an iTunes-integrated touch screen remote and Siri-like voice command technology” which would ship alongside an “Apple-branded, Kinect-like video game console”.
The new iThings would be out “before the end of 2012”, allegedly, and a second generation with higher-res displays would be out another three to six months later, presumably.
The site also makes a big deal about an otherwise completely unverified story that Apple CEO Tim Cook visited Valve last week, although with rumours that Valve is also moving into console production, it’s a nice little conspiracy to believe in.
