Another issue that arises is whether Apple's decision to enter gaming hardware is a true move for Apple. Analysts are more inclined to the disadvantage for Apple when the company is determined to capture this market. The gaming hardware segment has grown well in the past few years, but it is already too cramped, the big names have relatively clear market share. In addition, the price and configuration are always a top concern in gaming devices, so it is difficult for Apple to step into this particular field.

As another example, the MacOS gaming service segment has seen positive growth over the past few years, but still hasn't received really good support from any major developer. Although Boot Camp can allow you to play Mac games through the Windows partition, it basically does not support separate.

However, as Apple shifted its focus more to gaming with the Apple Arcade platform, the launch of future gaming hardware could be the perfect piece, contributing to paving the way for Apple to have gain a strong enough foothold in this field. Anyway, the game on Apple products has never been so bad, the appearance of a specialized device promises to give a much better experience.
