Apple has long been rumored to be looking to get more directly into the TV gaming space. When asked about such things at the D10 conference, Apple CEO Tim Cook denied that they were looking into a gaming specific device.
“I view that we are in gaming now in a fairly big way,” he replied. “One of the reasons people buy an iPod touch is gaming. Some buy it for music. I realize that is not the big screen you are talking about. Gaming has kind of evolved a bit. More people play on portable devices. Where we might go in the future, we’ll see. Customers love games. I’m not interested in being in the console business in what is thought of as traditional gaming. But Apple is a big player today, and things in the future will only make that bigger.”
When asked if the Apple TV could be used as a backdoor gaming device for the living room, Cook only replied, “I think it could be interesting.”
