Surely it's not true? Check the news section of SR and post your reactions that (allegedly) a company is making a console in an already saturated market.

This thing has "FAKE" written all over it.

"There are currently 32,679 retail game titles available"

For a console thats not complete thats an extremely large number.

"Choices of Over 50,000 Games"

Oh look. In the 30 seconds between me looking at two different pages theyve developed 17,321 games. Impressive isnt it?

Besides, who is developing these games?
No gaming company has mentioned anything about it.
I cant imagine how skillful they must be to complete that many games in such a short space of time.
They put every other developer to shame.
Why arent Rare bringing out a game a week?

Then theres the fact that nobody knows who these people are.
What have they done before?
What experience can they possibly have?
How have they managed to outperform Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft?

I think its safe to say that this console will never see the light of day.

Let me get something straight here.

So you download the games, but do you have to be connected to the net to actually play them?, and do you have to pay a service and connection fee?

Or am I being retarded as usual?

How on earth will they manage to have 33,000 downloadable games? It's preposterous. This thing is going down to chinatown.

Make sure not to have your speakers on loud - I heard the announcer blab on in Surround Sound glory as a result.

I think it was canned something like Inderima.

The controller does look like a Xbox rip and like the pic has been drawn by an infant.

It sounds cheesy, looks cheesy and smells cheesy.

I don't trust this swiveling piece of tripe
