That's the opinion of EA's VP Patrick Soderlund, who fielded questions from CVG about the future of the games industry and those competing in it."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/lpt/auto/1289358259.usr105634.jpg" /></p><p>It's possible, as is anything, but I certainly don't think it is probable. As an Xbox owner, I'm pretty well entrenched into my games on the Xbox. I won't even buy a Playstation since the games aren't different enough to warrant it for me. Heck, even their Blu-Ray player wasn't enough for me to add the PS3 to my gaming area. I suspect there are others out there that are pretty much set in their ways as long as the game keep their interest. I don't see that waning anytime soon, but I've been known to be wrong in the past. They certainly would have their work cut out for them building what Xbox and Sony have in terms of community. What are your thoughts, would a gaming console from Apple interest you?&nbsp;</p>

Actually, a more interesting idea is the combination of the iPad and the AppleTV. Imagine being able to play something like angry birds on your AppleTV using the iPad as the controller. Just a thought.
