All us gamers laugh, but in the end we're just prideful dinosaurs, kings of the realm oblivious to oncoming change. Console gaming is on it's way out, the future of home gaming is going to either be cloud based or at least on a unified OS, non steam "steam boxes," if you will.

I would agree except I wonder how the bandwidth issue will play itself out. The internet seems to be at its limit as is, throw game streaming to tens of millions of people at all times and I think the service won't be so seamless.

If amazon is smart they'll strike some deals with ISP and that using one of their services (music video games) won't count into your cap.. then it would be a massive gamechanger in the US..

And if they don't who cares, Fast and uncapped internet here! just cater to the high speed and bandwith connections

For me its all about price. Something greater than 100 and i'm not interested. Lets see how much will cost here in brazil.



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

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



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

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....
