Hynek Hampl Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, amagama e-PlayStation, i-Xbox ne-Nintendo aye abusa imakethe. Kodwa-ke, abanye bacabanga ukuthi i-Apple TV engaqinisekisiwe kodwa elindelwe ingakushintsha lokho.
U-Nat Brown, owayengunjiniyela we-Microsoft nomsunguli wephrojekthi ye-Xbox, wabhala kweyakhe siqu blog mayelana nendlela iMicrosoft (mis) ewusingathile ngayo iphrojekthi ye-Xbox. UBrown ubhale ukuthi okuwukuphela kwesizathu sokuthi i-Xbox iphumelele kangaka akukhona ukuthi yinhle, kodwa ngoba lokho okunikezwa nguSony noNintendo kubi kakhulu.
Ngokusho kukaBrown, iMicrosoft yehlulekile kakhulu uma kukhulunywa ngemidlalo ye-indie. Esihlokweni sakhe, ugxeka iMicrosoft ngokwenza kucishe kungenzeki ukuthi abathuthukisi be-indie bathole umdlalo wabo ku-Xbox bese bewukhuthaza futhi bawuthengise.
"Kungani ngingakwazi ukuhlela umdlalo we-Xbox ngisebenzisa amathuluzi angu-$100, ikhompyutha yami ephathekayo ye-Windows futhi ngiyihlole ekhaya nakubangane bami i-Xbox?. IMicrosoft iyahlanya ukuthi ingavumeli abathuthukisi abazimele, kodwa futhi isizukulwane sezingane ezithembekile nentsha, ukudala imidlalo yama-consoles ngaphansi kwezimo ezijwayelekile. "
Futhi kukule ngxenye lapho i-Apple ingafika khona futhi ibuse, kusho uBrown. I-Apple isivele inohlelo oluyimpumelelo kakhulu lokushicilela nokukhangisa izinhlelo zokusebenza olulula kubathuthukisi futhi olungabangela ukuwa kwamakhonsoli egeyimu e-Microsoft (Xbox 360), i-Sony (PlayStation 3) ne-Nintendo (Wii ne-Wii U).
“Uma ngikwazi, ngizoba owokuqala ukuqala ukwenza izinhlelo zokusebenza ze-Apple TV. Futhi ngiyazi ukuthi ekugcineni ngizoyenza imali ngayo. Ngingadala nemidlalo ye-Xbox uma ngikwazi futhi uma nginesiqiniseko sokuthi ngingenza imali ngayo.”
Okwamanje asazi lutho nge-Apple TV entsha futhi uma kuzoba ne-Apple TV entsha nengcono (ngaphandle kwezingxenye). Asazi lutho nge-Xbox entsha. Kodwa-ke, uma uBrown eqinisile, iMicrosoft kanye no-Sony kufanele benze okuthile mayelana nama-consoles abo amasha, ikakhulukazi mayelana nokuphathwa konjiniyela be-indie.
Ngicabanga ukuthi ingokoqobo ngokuphelele.. i-ipad 4 inezithombe ezingaphezu kwenele namandla ekhompiyutha futhi ngicabanga ukuthi ukusebenza kuzokwanda nakakhulu, njengoba sekushiwo, i-ecosystem isikhona futhi izongena ngokuphelele kuyo yonke i-ecosystem ye-Apple.
Kodwa okwamanje, i-Apple TV namanje "ithelevishini", ngeke neze ithathele indawo ikhonsoli yegeyimu ngezinhlelo zokusebenza.
ngakho-ke i-appletv izoshintsha nini ama-consoles wegeyimu? uma ungeza isilawuli kuso futhi wenze kube nokwenzeka ukusebenzisa zonke izinhlobo zezinhlelo zokusebenza ezizosebenza ngaphansi kwe-iOS futhi ubukeke, yilokho esikhuluma ngakho lapha.. kufanelekile ngokuphelele okwamanje futhi ngicabanga ukuthi kuzoshintsha esikhathini esizayo, mhlawumbe ngisho nomzamo ohlulekile, kodwa kwazi bani.. mhlawumbe abaklami balo mshini nje..
Kwenye indawo ngabona amahlebezi mayelana ne-apula TV entsha ezothola i-chip ye-A5X, eyanele cishe yonke imidlalo nge-HD egcwele.
Nginakho kokubili i-PS3 ne-AppleTV futhi ukuqhathanisa lezi zinhlelo kuwumbhedo ngempela. Ayikho indlela i-AppleTV yamanje engasongela ngayo i-PS3 mayelana nemidlalo. Ngokufanayo, i-PS3 ngeke isongele i-AppleTV ngoba ayisoze yasakaza umtapo wami we-iTunes.
Nokho... I-Sony PS3 isebenzisa ezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza kuma-smartphone ngaphansi kweqembu "elincane". Ashibhile kakhulu, kodwa hhayi kakhulu ku-console. Ukuqhathanisa imidlalo efana ne-Far Cry 3 noma i-Uncharted 3 nanoma yimuphi umdlalo wesenzo we-smartphone (njenge-Infinity Blade) kuwubuwula ngempela.
Akekho okhuluma ngakho namuhla, kodwa mayelana nama-consoles amasha nokuthi i-Apple izoletha ini nokuthi bazoyisebenzisa yini ithuba.
Angikholwa ngempela ukuthi i-Apple izothuthukisa kakhulu i-AppleTV eminyakeni engu-1-2 ezayo. Ngendlela yayo yamanje, i-AppleTV isineminyaka embalwa ikhona futhi akukho okusha okuseduze, okungiphatha kabi kakhulu.
Ngokubona kwami, inkinga enkulu ukuthi ukulawulwa kokuthinta imidlalo nezinhlelo zokusebenza ezivela ku-iPhone akukwazi ukusetshenziswa ku-TV, futhi akukho okunye u-Apple asenakho. Kuzodingeka ifike nesilawuli sohlobo lwe-gamepad njenge-playstation yami, bese lezi zinhlelo zokusebenza zingeke zihambisane namadivayisi wokuthinta akhona ku-iOS. Kunalokho, zingasekelwe ku-OS X.
Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa, i-PS4 kufanele yethulwe, futhi maduze kuzokwethulwa i-Xbox entsha. Ukusebenza kwe-AppleTV kuzomele kunyuke izikhathi ezingu-x ukuze kuqhudelane ukude nalezi zinhlelo.
Linda i-Orbis (PS4) Brown. Uzoba muhle kangangokuthi ikhanda lakho lizozungeza futhi i-ego yakho izoba flat.
Hhayi-ke, kuthiwani uma i-Apple iqhuba imidlalo kuseva ekude futhi i-AppleTV izovele iyiveze ku-TV
Nginakho konke okuvela ku-Apple, kuhlanganise ne-Apple TV, kodwa ngangikhathele ukulinda i-jailbreak futhi ngesonto eledlule ngithenge i-dongle MK 1500 ne-Android e-Alga ngo-802.
