It has been done, several times. There are already Android media players on the market. They're cheaper, and they do basically the same thing as this machine.

Also, Korean companies are starting to include Android in their DVD and Bluray players. They're aiming for an "all in one" set top box. That will kill the market for this thing.

I would much rather play Android games on this than on my cell phone.

Android games with a joy stick love it

It'll probably be successful since there IS a market for it and it doesn't have to sell nearly as much as the big 3 to make a profit.

WiiU killer.

I'd get one based on the fact that Jenova Chen is supporting it. I'm hoping all of this results in more awesome indie titles like Fez, Bastion, Limbo, Castle Crashers, and Braid.

Funding this is to fund the death of great games like Uncharted , GT5 , God of War, Metal Gear Solid from big studios. The high score charts will mean nothing if it is full of cheaters and hackers.

I don't see the appeal as a smartphone owner.

For $99 it's going to have less grunt than my SGS2 which can be connected to an hdtv/monitor and works with my Dual Shock 3.

tegra 4 will be available in november 2012 : i think it's too late and not uptodate comparing to other android device at that time and 1 GB it's not not enough for future games

The ignorance run deep on these forums I see. You don't have to worry about this eclipsing your PS4 and Xbox 8 come on now.

This is good for developers and people who like to make games but can't afford to get them out on the expensive console market.

This was backed up well making close to a 1,000,000 in less than 24 hours. There is a need and want for this as it is cheap, hackable, and easily programable for and many top indie developers are already on to this.

to the people who say "android has shit games"
well i agree.....FOR NOW
cuz i believe if this device succeeds i think alot of developers will spend more time crafting better games for it "and eventually something slimier to it".
imagine great innovative games for dirt cheap cuz the developers doesn't have to pay for shipping or licences or anything, that's why i think its a brilliant idea, i'm really psyched for what will from it

ill buy it

These specs have been outed yet nintendo wont release wii u specs? smh
