I think it's a good idea if it comes out at a similar price to the One or PS4 because it will probably be more advanced at first than the two Next Gen consoles and you'll probably be able to play better versions of the games than what will be available on One and PS4, but then a couple of years down the road instead of five to seven with the consoles if you want a system that's more capable of playing the games technologically wise, then you can pick up that year's model.

I also think it's good if you want to play the best versions of the games ie. the PC ones, but you don't really know how to build or add new tech to your computer.

As long as it is in the $500 range and more powerful than One and PS4, I'm intrigued.

The ones in the $500 range are not more advanced than Ps4/Xbone, you need to dish out significantly more cash if you want that. The $500 ones are the low spec, entry level ones.
