You know the old saying – revenge is a dish best served cold.
For years, Apple have been the laughingstock of the gaming community and seem hell-bent on riding their new found casual gaming stardom all the way to the bank by not only positioning themselves in amongst the gaming discussion by booking a software-only event for iOS and Mac OS X around the same time as E3, but they are trying to be the replacement event by booking their gig at the EXACT same time as E3 whilst also starting a day earlier just to add insult to injury.
Clearly, they want to take on the next-gen Nintendo Wii and Kinect gaming announcements head on and make that moment all about what they are doing with iDevices. It’s a bold strategy – and it will probably work.
Looking forward to the fireworks next month.
