Fuck off, Google.
Can't think of a company, besides Apple, who I want to see infest gaming less.

Personally, i remember all the jokes about BSODing consoles and Ctrl-Alt-Del joypads...
I guess Daytona - Let's go Away Collection, Outrun 3: Testarossa, Burning Rangers, Phantasy Star MCLXX and Panzer Dragoon Saga Gaiden are launch window then.
I would 100% bet on this, e.g.: if you have the box at home, you can stream anywhere through Chrome. Or just use the streaming service through chrome.
Can't be easier than this.
Why even bother posting this shit? Probablt fake? I'm concerned that youre actually entertaining this at all, unless I'm missing the sarcasm
If it's just a streaming box I'll sleep.
If they also offer a stationary box with good specs, I'll be very intrigued.

Fingers crossed for a SEGA Dreamcast streaming/downloadable console. I'd buy a machine just for that!
In what parallel universe do you think Google would make a console that is not rooted in Android?
I think that comparison is less about the money and power behind it, and more about what will likely be the end result lol.
Yeah, if I recall, orginal Xbox was rooted in Windows, may as well go with your proprietary OS.
If this is a legit console I would really labor over whether to buy it. One thing Sony has done and Microsoft even better is make me fully aware of how vast my damn gaming library is. Now with stuff like Game Pass and EA Access the notion of switching to a new console that I lose all that really bums me out.
If it is a traditional console then Google legitimately has a chance imo.
Also, if Google decides to partner with Nvidia for the GPU and has the only console on the market capable of hardware-based raytracing...
And for this very reason, I can't consider this new console unless it does something truly revolutionary. I have way too many games. Games I had well intentions to play immediately when I bought at launch that just fell to the wayside for years. And to make it worse, Capcom smacks me with two must-plays in the beginning of the year + Sekiro next week.
Where do I find the time?
If its a proper console ill pay attention (although Googles history of abandoning projects has me shook) if its a streaming device they can swivel.
Yeah some posts are a bit weird to be honest. If you read them you think that is about a small company from nowhere that wants to enter the gaming business.
"They abandon their projects". Every company stops unsuccessful products. It happens. Atari (Jaguar), Sega (Dreamcast), Sony (Vita), Microsoft (Kinect), Nintendo (Wii U), etc.
"Google? No thank you. They tracking everything". Yes because now not a single company tracking how we playing games...
"We don't need/I can't buy a fourth console". Most of the gamers don't buy every available console. Another option is never a bad thing.
We should at least wait for their presentation.
I wonder if Google brings ChromeOS to the living room with their console if Microsoft will finally feel it's ok to finally bring a Windows Desktop experience/mode to the Xbox. People will say they need to focus on GAME GAMES GAMES, but they could have a small team working on it and they already have the uwp apps ready to go.
Xbox One has a custom fork of Windows 10 so this still holds true.
Is it though?
I'd probably put money on this coming out, getting support with really slow sales for a couple years, and then fizzling out.
Maybe even fizzling out sooner than that, as soon as next-gen hits.
I just think people don't need another console maker in the game, let alone one designed by google (who people are growing to distrust more and more).
The more experience you have as a customer of Google's products and services the less likely you are to be excited by new ones. They literally kill your ability to get excited because of the way they operate. If another team at Google comes up with a "better" way of doing the same things this initiative does they will kill it or even introduce the other service alongside it with less features and then kill off the older service before achieving feature parity. It's the Google way.
I'm bemused.
I woul be very surprised if Google Gatherer becomes the next Artifact by Valve.
I was posting last night about how even if Google wows me with their offering, I'd hold off for a year to see how they support the thing. Now they're downsizing their tablet and laptop divisions.

Yeah, if it plays local games and has games I want, I'll be interested down the line and hope it does well in that case. But I could see them abandon it quickly if it's not a smash hit.

One where Fuchsia is years ahead in its development :p
Though personally I'm guessing a chromecast-type device. Maybe even just a new model of chromecast. And lt'd be a good idea in my book if they could offer a nice controller that would seamlessly switch between phone / cast / chromebook etc.
