Dell Inspiron 1525 with 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo, Bluetooth, and a built-in webcam as BTO options comes to $1019. It has a larger screen but the same screen resolution (1280x800?a 1680x1050 screen is available for $50), more memory (3 GB instead of 2 GB), and a larger hard drive (250 GB instead of 160 GB).

Anyway, to a lot of people it's worth it to spend an extra $300 or so to get the MacBook. It's smaller and more portable, and obviously it's a Mac so it runs OS X and has the whole style angle down. But in the context of creating a video game system, I don't think there are enough people willing to pay that much extra for an Apple product.

How is Apple going to price themselves out of the video game system market? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the systems are loss leaders/non profitable. They're not going to price their hardware at a premium such that they're making a profit...it's the software and accessory sales that bring in the $$.

Assuming they have the games and the developers on board along with a competitive price point, they'd be competitive. Whether or not there's room for a 4th player - that remains to be seen.

I still don't understand your OP and what this has to do with Console Gaming?

I don't know about the name, but if they update it as much as the iiiiphone, they'll be on their 10th gen console while the other guys are just starting their 6th.
