It's not a game console though, not as far as i can tell. It's a branch service off in a very different direction. |
Seems to be a device that runs software. If you consider things like Brain Age and Wii Fit to be games, then this seems like a game console.

what is blue ocean?
Think of sharks. You're a shark, and there is a kill in the area which means blood. You can go after the blood (red ocean), and try to fight off every other shark for a cut of the meat. Or, you can head out into the waters (blue ocean). Instead of focusing on the already dead and bleeding fish, you focus on every other fish.
In video game terms the red ocean is a known market, where the blue ocean is a new market. So, if you're a game developer you could release a product like Homefront in hopes of appealing to the existing market of shooter fans. You know the market is there, but there is already tons of competition. This is red ocean strategy. Alternatively, you can make a novel product and hope that you can attract a new market for it. Minecraft is an example of Blue Ocean strategy.
