The Pippin wasn’t solely a games console, but it was meant to be an inexpensive computer of sorts that would plug into your TV. The only problem was of course that it was shit. The Playstation was already out and Nintendo dropped the N64 soon after and that was that. It bombed, and it’s since gone down as one of the worst gadgets of all time. Which leads us onto possibility number two: Apple is planning to use Apple TV for games somehow. How this would work, no one’s sure, but the most realistic option seems to be that you could use it or a future model to play iPod games on your TV. Not a reason to buy one itself for sure (although seriously, Peggle comes close), but it makes it that little bit more attractive. Solitaire on a 50″ widescreen? That’s got to appeal to someone out there…
