Oh no the big bad android console from Amazon. How will MS and Sony cope??

That was my first thought.

 

But after reading a few comments, I kind of thought that it is more like a ouya with a huge financial backer.  Amazon is already providing lots of content to it's prime members who will now have to pay $100 US per year for that luxury.  If they added a "game system" that played the cellphone games up on the large screen tv at a nominal price, it would be very enticing.  Sell you the controller for $30-40 dollars and maybe a dongle or small device(apple tv) for another $30-50.  Heck, they could just make it run through the Kindles and through the TVs and people would be satisfied.  My kids already spend hours playing games on ipads and kindles.  Not so hard to make a rental type service like a netflix for video games. 

 

We will have to wait and see...



It is near the end of the end....
