Winner: Apple

i hope this is all BS this is how the Sony lost the TV business as market leader cause they shifted their focus to gaming to establish the PS brand and Samsung snuck up with their innovation and took that spot. Focus on your TVs dammit lol.

Hell integrate it into your TVs if you want to go down that path.

Interesting strategy by Samsung there, you'd think they'd be more interested in creating a machine that people want to buy.

Zing!

Panasonic Apple Phillips Samsung entering the market? A complete success, for sure, who wouldnt buy the 3DO Pippin CDi Galaxy console?

Zing or not, it's true

Hehe, I couldn't help myself :)

Company after company fails to realise that GAMES sell consoles.

They think just getting a few ports plus whatever hardware features they have will cause sales.

Haha!! The good old 3DO and CDI. Anyhow things are much different these days. This system will be cloud base and companies taking this path can all easily facilitate that without too much additional cost.

They won't compete directly with the big three, yet. Just offer cheap downloadable games and see how it goes.

I believe they all think there is a market for this type of gamer. 

Steam box, Amazon, Google (rumours). It can become a dog eat dog world out there. Nintendo really need to up their game. They are currently the ones under pressure with very poor wii u sales. The power and support of the X1/PS4 will see them through.

Saying that, I have no idea how this is all going to play out. None of it may actually happen.

Well in amazons defence, we've heard they've been picking up game developers, so they might have a chance. Google and Samsung though........eh

If this is anything like the Wii U, then Samsung is probably making a big mistake.
