Praise for the new iPad is coming from all corners of the technology world, including big names in the gaming industry.<\/p>\n
Mike Capps, president of Epic Games noted that, \u201cApple is definitely building their devices as if they care a lot about \u2018triple-A\u2019 games.\u201d<\/p>\n
Triple-A titles are often big budget productions usually found on the more popular consoles such as the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3.<\/p>\n
Capps believes that Apple<\/a> can challenge popular home consoles with the addition of a Bluetooth controller used for interacting with the games.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is quite easy to imagine a world where an iPad is more powerful than a home console, where it wirelessly talks to your TV and wirelessly talks to your controller and becomes your new console,\u201d Capps said.<\/p>\n Frank Gibeau, president of Electronic Arts\u2019 (EA) labels says his company is also keeping a close eye on the iPad.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen the iPad gets to the processing power that\u2019s equal to an Xbox 360 and it connects to a television, that\u2019s no big deal to us. We\u2019ll put the game through the iPad and have it display through the television,\u201d Gibeau said.<\/p>\n EA has already released titles on the iPad including \u201cDead Space\u201d, and Gibeau noted that the iPad is becoming more of a player in the industry. \u201cIt used to be, oh hey, it\u2019s just the Nintendo<\/a>, Sony<\/a> and Microsoft<\/a> show, but that\u2019s not the case anymore,\u201d Gibeau concluded.<\/p>\n
