If iOS games are any indication then an Apple console would have 100x the low-effort microtransaction slopware as Sony and Microsoft. I think we’re better off without it.

Unfortunately that’s the nature of the mobile marketplace, it’s mostly trash. The same is rapidly taking over PC and to a lesser extent console games, but fortunately the review/visibility systems in place are far more developed.

Well and the consumer is usually a bit more developed as well.

i dont think thats what they menat. If Apple went full on with their series and movies content, winning awards left and right, rightfully so, then expectation here is they would release their own, exclusive game titles.
