Apple has snapped up game industry vet Bob Drebin, the creator of GameCube’s graphic processor.

This is the second such hire by the company, as it was reported earlier that former Xbox executive Richard Teversham has also joined the company.

These new hires have caused Forbes to speculate that Apple is upping the ante in the gaming sector, and expanding iPhone hardware to better handle portable gaming.

Wall Street rumors suggest differently, and have the company primed to buyout EA, which analyst Michael Pachter called “idiotic“.

Blimey. Richard Teversham, “senior director of business, insights and strategy for Xbox” in Europe, has left Microsoft for Apple, according to this MCV story.

“We can confirm that Richard Teversham, director of business, insights and strategy, has taken a new opportunity outside of Microsoft. A process is underway for recruiting his replacement,” Microsoft said in a statement.

“A 15-year veteran of Xbox and Microsoft, Richard has been an integral part of the success of Xbox in Europe and in the UK.

“We thank him for his considerable and valuable contributions to the Xbox business in EMEA during his time with us, and wish him every possible future success.”
