Would You Buy An Apple Gaming Console?

What does this mean?..ive seen this a few times...."and everything they stand for"...what...are they secretly going to raise a Nazi army up and take over the world with minmalist menus and trying to make everything thinner?
im being serious what do poeple mean by this?
I now own an iMac....i still own a PC i built....the more i use them...the more they become different things to me..why people even really comapre them is beyond me.
Apple is never making a console....how long did it take them to realise their are powerful GPU's made?...come on.
7-8 years ago replace the company in the OP question with Microsoft and ask the same question. Crappy reputation, unreliable software that needs patching once a year, no real hardware experience to speak off, new entrant to games market, sell overpriced products.
Ring any bells? I would say if anything if Apple did enter now, the above reasons, put them in a better place than MS when they entered, (apart from the obvious balance differences between companies, and arguably the market is bigger than it was 7-8 years ago).

Oh god... just don't.
I remember seeing a press release where they screamed for a good 5 mins when they unveiled the MARGINALLY different new apple logo. Utter sigh fest.

Overpriced... maybe.
No one would buy games for? hmmm, that depends on how people perceive it. If it is anything like the Ipod...
It would be a bad move for Nintendo to join Apple and share profits, they simply don't need anyone to help dominate at the moment.

They all literally wet their pants every time he opens his mouth, I genuinly feel embarrassed for them.

Nope, The 360 is good enough for me. But in all honesty I'd have to play one and see the upcoming games being released on it to make a judgment.

No chance, it would cost nearly £1000.

WOOOH, 16 pages? Did someone spark a debate? Or is there porn hidden somewhere?
Anyways, I'd buy one depending on the games scheduled, and the media capabilites.

I would buy it possibly have some sort of intercourse with it and then show my friends my trendy machine
They are Yanks and are probably all Californians, therefore all that cheering and "Wetting their pants" is a given...
I doubt Apple would ever release a games console that's sole job would be to play games. It would have to be multi-purpose if it was from Apple and the games playing ability wouldn't be the most touted part...
