One thing to keep in mind is the article these reports are based on lacks any real substance. The truth is, only Apple and the companies that ported their games know the sales. These kind of reports to get lots of clicks though.
Most of the points boil down to this being a new fronteer for apple. The question is whether apple can iron out the issue that currently are not present in pc/console but also catch up on decades of development on a phone no less in the hopes of gaining marketshare. I think this is something that is more than apple can chew.
IMO it’s a flop for me because none of these games support cross-save between iOS and macOS, if if it’s universal purchase. So what, I’m supposed to just start a new game when I want to move to my phone? Apple NEEDS to make cross save and universal purchase MANDATORY!
Actually many of them have cross saves. I tested this personally with RE4 and death stranding. the issue is not ALL of them do. but that's more of a developer problem than an apple one. EVEN resident evil is not consistent because RE village sold ios and mac editions separately and purposely restricted saves for some unknown bad reasons. The way village was handled was an absolute travesty Some of mac ports also supported steam which is good for cross play with PC instead of phone, such as stray velheim and lies of P
Apple is also comfortable playing the long game. A lot is an instant success but they know that a slow start that results in Apple ecosystem growth and retention is as good as instant success. If they can get these games on new iPads and iPhones that’s huge and with how easy it is to port it to Mac from iOS, the Mac now has that catalog. Getting those games on Mac will increase the people that own a Mac since the lack of gaming will be less an issue.
Yep, you get it. apple has always been a long game player. It's how they do things. They never win any awards for being first. At like anything. But they always look toward horizon on things. I think some of the journalists who are quick to call something a flop 1 year in just don't cover apple very much.
Well, the general habit of people is to ignore the mac as a gaming platform. However, what could possible a new market to harness, is the iPad. Yes , I am happy to have that same game over Mac and iPhone. This is just pure genius.
Oh absolutely. apple is targetting ios as deployment strategy because mac has a small market share, but iphone/ipad does not. and fact all 3 are on same architecture now just means if they can get ports to the big market share. it's just a few extra clicks to also drop it on mac. It's just right now the number of ios devices that can line up with this strategy isn't large enough yet. Thus my call out on calling it a "flop" too early. not everyone has an iphone 15 or M1 or above ipad yet. a LOT of old devices in use..for now.
youtube algorithms be wild and you get curious. :P. I'm not against good ASMR though, but you can see I didn't finish that one. I lean to more conventional stuff like barber stuff like Munur Onkan. I think one problem with ASMR is it's been perverted by OF girls sexualizing it and now that's all people think it is.
a new apple tv with M4 or better processor would definitely be a nice gametop box, but only if they're willing to put more memory on it. i can tell you that having something that's hooked up to a 4k tv, trying to play games at 540p would only get review bombed. and that's what it would be doing if it shipped with only 8GB of shared memory
With cloud gaming getting more and more stable it will not make sense anymore for games to occupy half of the phones storage and empty the battery way too fast. You can already play triple A games on potato android phones using xbox game cloud. tbh I cannot see a big future here for apple..
@@VerSo113 i def see a future for that too. but there will always be value in offline mode. there are so many places there isn’t bandwidth for cloud gaming or low enough latency. then there is fact storage is getting smarter and cheaper (well outside of apple over charging for it but yeah). it’ll be interesting to see how both markets evolve though.

@@mysticalos Absolutely, great video man. You have gained a sub.
Choose better title please. Short and something that will bring people here.
"Is Apple AAA gaming push a flop?"
Yeah that's true
"Powder Ear Massage 1HR ASMR" haahahahaha

Games work with all m chip iPads as well hopefully they sup up Apple TV to really game on.
