An article obviously written by a die hard Apple fan, who clearly titled the article incorrectly. The iPad is an amazing device I will agree on that, and yes it does dominate the mp3 market and netbook market, although the Kindel Fire is holding up pretty well. But for the author to say it's going to beat the actual video game industry was absurd... the iPad does have good graphic sespecially with the Retina display but when it comes to the hardware, it's not even close... The iPad has trouble loading what's on it to begin with, they lag out of the box slightly, could you imagine playing Skyrim, Mass Effect 3, Halo 4, GTA 5, Forza 4, COD MW3, or any of those other incredibly popular games on an iPad? It would struggle severly and if the multiplayer waas added it would most likely crash. The 360/PS3 are great consoles and they are far cheaper than a 16GB iPad. The hardware is not in the iPad to compete with an Xbox/Playstation/Gaming computer, nor can the iPad hardware be changed easily or cheaply where as a computer has the advantage over all the systems.
I don't know, I just wanted to share the article and vent about how incorrect and ridiculous it was.
