The current and unparalleled success of iOS as a mobile operating system has turned Apple into the most important company worldwide, putting it in a position its rivals have only dreamed about. Now, Apple has the wherewithal, not just the talent, to turn iOS into the most important video-gaming platform in the world , and the better part is that the company doesn’t have to push experimental, new devices like the relatively unsuccessful Nintendo 3DS to make it happen. To the dismay of Sony and Nintendo, the take over is happening because Apple’s hardware is in your pocket or bag (or perhaps your friend’s pocket or bag). That seems to be the biggest problem console manufacturers must overcome.
