With a David and Goliath battle ahead of him, Slightly Mad Studios’ CEO and co-founder Ian Bell has been busy selling the idea that his recently announced 4K-capable games console has what it takes to take on the PlayStation and Xbox One. While the system’s guts can’t be shared yet (components haven’t been finalized), Bell already has renders of what the console will look like. The CEO claims he’s been in talks with NVIDIA and AMD for ASIC AI in the "Mad Box," which will have “excessive” amounts of power.
Bell returned to Twitter later with the first images of the new console that’s still being worked on. Shaped like an “M” with the bottom sides flaring out to keep the console upright, it appears to come in multiple colors or can at least be configured to display different colors on the front, and sides. It also appears to have a see-through casing, but Bell said the guts of the console have been blurred out due to ongoing talks about the console’s components.
