Nvidia announces portable Android-powered console

Control won't be an issue but I only play games on a big screen. I have a 30 inch HDTV, why would I want to downgrade??

sorry handhelds/portables have never been my thing....

Seems pretty cool. Might be cool if you could stream games from a single computer to multiple hand helds... and do some multiplayer lan gaming. Sounds like that'd be asking a lot, but who knows.

xbox 720 controller?

If it doesn't had its own games then I ain't buying it. I like my PC games on a PC, my console games on console and my handheld games on handheld. Playing only Android OS stuff on this thing would be just another nail in its coffin as the Sony Xperia PLAY already did it better.

Cool! Hope it won't cost to much.

So, how does this work with PC games that don't support controllers?

what an ugly looking console, compared to other 'handhelds', its bulky, ugly and doesn't make me want to buy it. although it may have a good system backing it. generally people focus on looks and that isn't winning me over! :(

At first I thought it said N-Gage. lol

But anyway, it would've made more sense for it to be chargeable rather than use batteries.

How awesome is this!

the xbox is a weak console, so being 700x stronger is not all that great.

The equivalent of 700 Xbox 360's? sounds nice but how "true" is that. The controller remains me of the Duke for the original Xbox. depends on how comfortable that controller is will be a deciding factor. It hopefully will be reasonable in price since a handheld device priced at $250.00 or $300.00 is slow to sell. They should try this in Japan which is the king of portable gaming.

oh great ...another one of these things

That's kind of cool. I don't want to play games on a five inch screen, but there's a market of there.

Nvidia just might make it, well if they have good 3rd party games to get gamers to buy the consule.

If it has the companys new tegra 4 processor that means it will play games,like Crysis , call of duty...

I don't no if i'd buy it but i would like to see more...

The system needs a good selection of games to make it anywhere.

Also if it is as powerful as they say then it will likely cost quite a bit also.

who wants to carry that bulky thing around?

sooooooooooo Sony will have a new rival hmmm. **Here comes a new challenger* microsoft anounces a in develop hand held console **apple reads it ** Apple Anounces a Hand help Console *Igame* and prepare a lawsuit against microsoft for pattent infrigment

Fails or not, it's great to see how the competition is heating up in the gaming industry. Everyone is trying to grab a piece of the pie which means Nintendo, Sony and MS have to try that much harder to differentiate their consoles by having strong game libraries, innovative features, etc. Can't wait to see what Sony and MS are cooking up with PS4/Xbox next.

I am not a fan of mobile gaming...... pass

so basically its trying to replace the laptop with a Extremely Fat Xbox controller and a small iphone as the screen. I doubt that it can even run games with high system requirments like Crysis 3

the controller looks less comfortable than the original Xbox one.

It certainly is interesting. PC gaming anywhere you go.

They've basically shoved an old Xbox controller onto a small tablet device... I really don't think that's the future... Plus I can't stand it Cloud gaming of that were the case

Cant think of a justifiable use personally...Why on Earth would I play PC games on on it? And I certainly wouldnt buy it to play Android games...

I like the idea. I also like that more companies are trying their hat at consoles (portable or not). I don't see this even competing with the other handhelds out there though. I didn't catch a price point, but unless it's under $50, I see this being hte next NGage. If this thing has 4G capabilities and will enable you to play games from services like Steam, Cloud stream anywhere from your pc it might not be so bad, but I highly doubt it. I'd also guess it'll be between $200 and $300 and fail miserably. For that kinda scratch I'd just buy a Vita and/or 3DS. Still, kudos for trying something different.

As long as it isn't more than $200 ill buy.... which is highly doubtful so I'll stick with my pc
