Running the Android operating system, the system will compete directly with Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo, offering the streaming and download of games, music, movies and TV content, multiple sources have told VG247.

 
Amazon will target an affordable price point – we’re told below $300 in the US – in a pricing move similar to Amazon’s marketing of the Kindle Fire HD against high-end iPad hardware from Apple.
 
The difference for Amazon is that it already has an active customer base of 200 million people along with their payment details, 10 million of which are said to subscribe to the $79-a-month Prime Service.
 
But Amazon is also heavily recruiting across its games development team, with many positions requiring extensive knowledge in triple-A games across production, art, tech and design roles.

I really hope they don't approach this like the kindle.  The original kindle was so slow and the touch was horrible, it couldn't even function google.  It was a brilliant strategy as people wanted a cheap tablet and Amazon is reaping the rewards in the long run.  End of the day, if they enter the market they will make money.  They will market the hell out of it and the sheep will flock.

Same thing.

Everyone wants to use gamers to get a mediabox in your home.

I would just try to buy the Ouya and rebrand it or just focus on it a lot. This makes no sense.

Some people always have a cellphone on them. I'm so awesome I always have a 3DS.

This.... Could be more accurate than you know.

Before the last crash, EVERYBODY was flooding into the games market to try and exploit the 'stupid gamers'. Even quaker oats got in on the action.

Would be interesting to see how it does. it's rumored to run Android, so it will have to differentiate from the Oyua.

I can't see this taking off when there are established brands like Xbox and Playstation in the industry. I cannot see this taking off in all honesty.
