Forget the iPhone, here’s something even better for Apple
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Apple makes fine computers - I use one to write and to edit photos. But when it comes to games, Apple just doesn’t cut it - not because of the hardware, it is capable of running any game. But my favorite games just haven’t been available for a Mac. That’s a big deal - and, for my money, one of the reasons that Mac isn’t in more homes. Most of us want one computer that will do everything we want - and many of us want games.
So that’s why this story is big and important news. I am not sure that you’ll read a lot about what a big deal it is but - if my crystal ball is working OK - I think it is a big first step toward a larger market share for Apple. EA is a big gun in the gaming industry and I think others will follow. If that happens, then you’ll see a big jump in market share for Macs. Here’s another story that mentions the games.
I won’t hold my breath but if the game that has consumed me for two years - Guild Wars - goes Mac, I’ll be right pleased. It’s an online game that lets my warrior slash and hack other 12-year-olds.
I know everyone is talking about the iPhone but if this first step by EA is followed by others, this seemingly small deal could end up being as important as the iPhone.
