Rift looks kind of cool, but I can't imagine using it for more than 30 minutes at a time max.
Archos Tablet looks cheap. Phyisical controls are nice but Android doesn't have enough controls that really need physical buttons to make this useful. Money would be better spent for a 3DS IMO.
Razer's thing is silly. Battery life for gaming is about 1 hour and add ons are lol expensive. Better off buying a gaming laptop.
Don't understand what the Steam Box is for. It's a small desktop which is kind of nice I guess, but I don't see what advantages it offers over PCs for the PC audience (aside size) and I don't see how it will appeal to console gamers. A nice niche product, but not a gamechanger.
Shield is poorly designed. Most of its features only work if you have compatible Nvidia chip in your CPU. Considering Android is mostly touch games right now, the screen should be build in to the controller, not on top where it's inaccessible. Maybe the final design will be better, but right now it's way too bulky. |
Apparently with the controller add on, Razer will have a 4-5 hour battery life for gaming. 10-12 hour battery for non gaming activities... It's got a massive battery.
The problem in my eyes is that it's 1500 bucks and that it weights 5 lbs.

$1500? That's insane, nobody is going to buy that...

They absolutely wont. When you disect the parts, there is a lot of stuff there and I understand the high price(i7, massive battery, Nvidia GT640m). But as a gaming device, it can't sell for 1500... It just can't.
It could be essentially bought for $1249 with an i5. Cheapest configuration is below.
Tablet with i5, Nvidia 640GTm and 64 GB SSD - $999
Dual analog controller with extra battery - $249
