I emailed Tim Cook a few years ago as a shareholder and told him to get serious about gaming and content. Haha i highly highly doubt he ever saw it.

These gaming franchises are really the only thing bringing people to these platforms, and the one Achilles heel of the apple ecosystem.. even if apple developed its own franchises, just doing something to elevate gaming on the platform beyond a few indie games would be a long lasting competitive advantage.

People have been saying that gaming will doom Apple since PC gaming really became a thing in the early 90s with Wolfenstein and Doom. The entire PC industry is minuscule compared to the phone industry. The PC game industry is even smaller.

The best selling consoles of each generation usually don’t sell more in their entirety than Apple sell’s iPhones in two or three quarters.
