Apple is suspected of poaching Microsoft Xbox engineers to develop its own game console

DoNews January 27 news (Liu Wenxuan) Microsoft's recent $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard news has attracted widespread attention, but at the same time, Windows Central reporter Jez Corden revealed in The Xbox Two program that he heard from Apple insiders that Apple is also building its own game console, and has been poaching engineers from Microsoft's Xbox department, and has initially formulated the hardware specifications of the game console.

Corden said the news has been circulating for some time, but what Apple's console will look like, and even whether it will actually be launched, is still a mystery.

Apple partnered with Bandai in 1995 to launch a game console called "Pinpin", which only supports CD media, and Apple positioned this product as a low-cost computer, but the price is as high as $599, which is much more expensive than similar products of its competitors. In the end, the cumulative sales of this game console were only about 42,000 units, resulting in the loss of more than 6.5 billion yen for Apple and Bandai.
