The idea of a new video game console trying to compete against the "big three" seems highly unlikely but I have to admit, I really like the overall concept of this console.

I 100% agree with the concept.
It is why I always push back when people suggest "buy a console".
I like scoring a game for $5 on a Steam special rather than paying $50 at BestBuy for the same game.
*sigh*Tegra3 quad-core processor
Awful controller design, awful cpu. Seems like a massive waste of resources.
I'll pass on this one. It doesn't compete with existing consoles on any level and either has to compete with mobile devices or PC and can't do either.
I love the concept, but frankly see no future in the current design and direction.
How on Earth can you tell?Awful controller design
I wouldn't say the CPU is as bad as we think...especially if you consider the fact that developers can design games SPECIFICALLY for Tegra 3...kind of like whats been done on consoles.
So even with sub-par hardware, when you're dealing with a single platform that means that every little bit of performance gets to be squeezed out of this new console.

If it means the death of the Xbox and ultimately the death of Microsoft then, I'm in.

Would you get a console if the game prices were the same?
Wow. Someone is stuck in 1999 when it was still cool to hate Microsoft...
There are a few, yes. Hardly enough to be able to determine whether the thing offers any decent comfort.There are pictures of it in the video...?
That won't happen anytime soon dude. Lol It's a pipe-dream at best.
Oh yeah? And what has Microsoft brought to the table that is worth a damn in the past 5 years?......If it weren't for Direct X and Xbox Microsoft would be out of business in a heartbeat.
The point of this console is to provide an open source environment for indie game devs and ensure individual developer freedom without licensing/patent issues. It won't compete with the "Big 3" but that isn't the point.
I would love to get my hands on one of these things.

The days of paying 300+ dollars or more for an operating system are long gone my friend. Get with the times.
Well, despite the Tegra 3, it's capable enough for my engine project. Could be fun. I'm in.
There's already an open gaming platform you can hook up to your TV. It's called a PC. It hooks up with the same HDMI cable a console does and it lets you do all sorts of other non-gaming things too!
