The game console market has just got a heck of a lot more complicated than we imagined not long ago.

Yeah, just one year ago we all would have laughed at the thought of 4 new comers entering the market this year!!

nVidea

Ouya

Valve

And that other company....?

Onlive?

Yeah it'll be interesting how the market responds. I feel that tablets and basic gaming is likely to be more of a threat to Nintendo because they represent 'good enough' and the new services seem like more of a threat to Sony because they have tried to court the hardcore and/or PC/PS3 userbase but if the PC users don't need a console then they may end up dropping their consoles.

I don't think it's Onlive... It's another console launching close to Ouya's release date...

Yeah, smartphones and tablets will take a chunk out of Nintendo's handhelds - but going by the 3DS Nintendo will continue to do quite well for themselves. I wonder how nVidea will factor in to this...? I can see Valve taking a chunk out of PS4 and x3ox market shares - but not that big of a bite. I'd be surprised if it sold more than 15-20m, I'm thinking more in line of 10m...
