No Apple, No Games: Many Problems for CES

So CES 2011 has come and gone for another year. Whether you wanted to find mice shaped like Ford Mustangs or wanted a Michael Jackson impersonator to give you a free iPhone case or anything in between, the Consumer Electronics Show was your bag. But there were a few glaring omissions from this and pretty much every CES that there's been in recent years. Two of the biggest entities in consumer electronics, Apple and pretty much the entire video game industry, were absent once again from this year's show. So is CES a fraud and overblown or can it live on in all its obscure glory without these groups?

I had the LaserActive... it was a nice collectors piece but not very practical. Especially when it came to needing recapping. I think i paid all of about $50 for the floor model from an incredible Universe back in the day. I ended up selling it many years later for $300 at the time due to it needing a new laser and the aforementioned recapping.

An honorable mention not on the list would be the VM Labs Nuon. It basically looked like any regular DVD player but it had ports on it for controllers to play specific games. one of which is still exclusive to it with Tempest 3000. It also offered nuon enhanced DVD movies with extra content not accessible by regular players.

I feel alot of mobile gamers are kids which will at some point probably turn to console or pc. Mobile gaming just doesn't cut it for me.

tru dat, but i feel like it's gonna be a lot more viable for people who travel a lot or don't want to invest in a full gaming rig. Think of it as a Switch on drugs, with a LOT more room for free illegal downloads.
