Apple building a dedicated console probably doesn't make any sense. But
via the iPhone, Apple TV, and the Mac, Apple already has ****table,
set-top and desktop hardware products, all based around the same core
software. It wouldn't be too crazy for Apple to think about adding more
gaming features to these products.
That said... Apple files for lots of patents, and most of them never
lead to actual products. That sort of thing is pretty standard practice
for a large tech company.
