LOL! You can't keep them away from the gear! When my son was born, we moved our computer desk into the living room to make it easier to watch him. Little did I know, what's mine is mine but also his.
Ha! +1 for crazy cute little dude.

You're in luck. Because they do.
Now if the games would just support it.
Compare launch title current gen games to recent current gen games; theres a huge difference. Then compare a modern next gen gaming system (a high end PC) to a modern console game. There is little difference beyond tessellation, higher res textures. The only thing the next console gen will bring will be that - plus initial support for 4k. That's hardware though, services is where next gen will shine.
I plan to get iPad Minis for my 3 kids for Christmas. Cost: about $1,000.
Your gifts won't be that high on the "imagination" scale, but they will feature high capacity batteries.
To be fair, it was only introduced just recently.
with American kids aged 6-12 generally more interested in the latest iOS offerings than other consumer electronics and gaming devices.
I guess I raised my kids better.
The louder they cried about wanting something, the less interested I was in getting it for them.
They always hear the same two words from me.
Earn it.
Show me straight A's for an entire school year.
Clean up after yourself without having to be told to do it 50 times.
Save your allowance money and buy it yourself.
The list goes on.
Howling about wanting an expensive toy in my house is a sure fire way to get nothing.
You had Soup AND Hard Candy? Wow, what's that like? We had to live in the lake.
Thank you parents for what they did, they gave you tools in the end and that made you want to learn and "create" thats what im trying to say (english not my native).
Anyway i agree with that and never forced/wanted to force the opinion more like just give an idea, in the end its not my job anyway.
Cheers.
I guess you could do HDMI to the big screen and that would work. I still think Apple should use that huge cash pile and try the console market. They could get $499 at the start, maybe lose a shade over a hundred if they swing for the fences. That also puts iTunes under a lot of sets if it took off. I have no doubts the interface would be good.

No true at all. Game sizes aren't limited by the medium. Even games like Skyrim, Oblivion etc, don't take up a full DVD9 let alone a Bluray. PC exclusives have the option of being unlimited, but they're not.
It sort of is true (I work in console game development). New processes and techniques occur very late into console cycles. One thing Halo 4 did that previous games didn't was to process only what the player sees, where previously it would process around a radius and a long distance infront. All these little things to hammer out the last bit of performance. Uncharted 3 improves upon 2, Halo 4 looks better than Gears 2, etc.
If you want bleeding edge then get a PC. Console games are never about amazing graphics, their selling point is how easy it is to get into the game, about sitting back with a TV and exclusive titles.
That's true. But engines are now scaleable and multiplatform, something as hugely impressive as Rockstar's engines on PC look incredible (and take up 50gb!), but the console versions look considerably worse, but it's all coming from the same code. Unreal Engine 4's real time demos show what we should expect from modern PC's and what the next gen consoles will launch next year/the year later.PC games are and will never be optimized for the system though. Consoles is where most of the $$$ is so the industry moves with them. And limited RAM does have an impact where a larger game could utilize more resources.
Definitely. But the differences are going to be smaller and smaller with the current hardware we have (1080p 2D displays). Once you have realism achieved at those levels, the only way is getting that at 4k, 3D, etc. There will always be improvements as long as the tech we use to experience those games changes.That industry isn't even close to reaching it's max potential. I guarantee the 720/P4 will have people in awe again. No doubt about it. Cliff B and other devs have spoken about the benefits of next gen already, EPIC even showed a demo and it blew away the stuff we have now.
Depends. Halo 3 looks a bit better than Halo 2, but the biggest leap is Halo 3 to Halo 4 and that's within a generation. Which you can blame on rushing 3 and having the benefit of highly optimised code for 4.Uncharted 4 on the PS4 and Halo 5 on the 720... going to look amazing and crap over the predecessors.
Depends what you mean by game size. If you mean the size of the data, of course you'll be able to fit more onto higher capacity media. But if you mean the size of the game (game length, map size), that isn't being limited by media size. Look at the Oblivion games; each successor's map is smaller than the predecessor.Game sizes are limited by medium as well if you can't install it. You can install XBOX games but they keep stuff at 7 gigs and 1 disk preferably because not every console shipped with a hard drive. If it was a 15 gig disk per say then the dev. could use the space for sound enhancement, or not having to compress as heavily, or higher res textures in spots, etc...
The PS3 does have install options per game.Blu ray on the P3 is gimped by the drive speed. And that system has no install option. Games have been able to take some advantage still. Again on both sides that RAM is the biggest hurdle.
Which is exactly why I DON'T want one thank you very much. Surface for me (and us business folk).
Any family that buys an iPad for their 6-year old kid deserves to have their tax bracket doubled. Because, clearly, they have more money than they know what to do with.
Ps3 + xbox360= 6y+ old.....
Plus i dont think the console gamers care too much for ipad games mate.
Well i got a ipad 2, iphone 4s and 3 macs yet i feel sorry for you seems your in love with a brand.....
Eh...I'm not so sure about that. The GPU maybe, but I doubt the A6 can match the PPCs in the Xbox, and the funky 10 core thing the PS3 has for pure processing power.
Based on the admittedly very little I know about it, I'd peg the iPad 4 out as more powerful than the PS Vita, but not quite up there with the PS3 just yet.

I am rubber you are glue? Really? Your rapier wit wounds my soul.
Yeah but it is a tablet, I like my 55 inch big screen to play teh games on. Sad a tablet has more horsepower than those. I mean I get they lose I think around 250-300$$?? at launch on the consoles and they need to make that back, but 7-8 years kind of sucks for those of us who want things more modern on that front.
2013 is guaranteed though. *rock sign*
