no chance at all of running ps3 games on a mac...which is probably why sony is considering this...
what apple gets from it...not sure, maybe to sneak into the home, and build a customer base for future upgrades...dunno
fun speculation though.
However, I'm still guessing that if it's a common OS that gets supported, it will likely be Linux.
Despite the speculation, there's an obvious friendship between Apple and Sony. Remember at the 2005 MacWorld Expo San Francisco, Steve had Sony's President Kunitake Ando there to show off their HD camcorder--the freaking president, not some unheard of engineer or salesman. I doubt the president of Sony just goes around the world peddling Sony's wares. There has to be something going on between the two companies. I'm sure we'll know by the PS3's launch.
I think it would be a huge win for Apple and Sony to work together on this. MS and the Xbox 360 is going to be the home media center of the future otherwise. It is designed as a Trojan horse of sorts. It will tie into the MSN music store, Tivo like features, an online comunity, web browsing, basically everything that the pundits where hoping the Mac Mini or something similar would be from Apple by now. All this in addition to playing next gen high definintion games.
I think if Apple and Sony can put their differences and egos aside and do this, well it's honestly the only way either has a chance in the next big market. Wouldn't it be cool if the PS3 booted OS X? Apple would be in millions more living rooms, iTunes music and video store integration, etc.
Should stop dreaming, huh?
