Do there companies honestly think they will survive? Holy crap this is getting annoying. It's like the 1980's all over again. 17 different consoles to chose from.
Anyway, this cloud w/e you call it seems to be where everyone is going now. But people don't understand gaming consoles are not like freaking phones! You can't just upgrade them saying Hey! We just added supertooth 9821 Throw out your old supertooth 9820's and buy this one for 100 dollars more!
I seriously don't want a console that is out of date before I buy it. It's annoying and Thus far no one has tried to even beat the PS3's hardware. It's really, really, annoying.
I almost never call a console a rip off because it's such a large finger to be thrown around. But the controller just looks similar to me... I wonder where I seen it before. Oh yeah! Onlive had it! But I could have sworn I'm forgetting something. I know it's not Sony though. (Sarcasm)
You think they would have the common decency to try something new.
Anyway I don't care. This is the only thing I hate when people try to make it in the console market. It comes this much closer to crashing until it's just like buying a new movie player. (Where there are 900 to chose from.)

I would give that thing a chance.
The Wii is one of the stupidest consoles I've seen, but currently its the strongest seller.

My mom needs a DVR that can accept digital over the air signals. Assuming that this unit can do that, I could see it stealing a market from TIVO which is more expensive, has less features and charges a monthly fee on top of that. I'm sure she wouldn't mind playing pac-man on it either. ;)
Don't expect this unit to compete with the big boys (Sony M$, Nintendo). It is going to be a niche thing like pandora; you probably won't see it at retail.

Everyone please keep in mind the Wii is for non gamers. They don't look at a game and go "Wow these graphics are 0.1% better on the 360 because it's a easier port" They just look at the game.
Half these people grew up with Mario and haven't seen him for awhile. Now that they have kids they have a choice between this family friendly console, and 2 mass gore consoles.
You see Sony and Microsoft needs to stop worrying about this audience so much. I know you want to have a few games they can play. But truth is parents are going to buy their child a Wii or PS2. If the father is a gamer then a PS3. I say this because the PS3 is more family friendly then the xbox. Although they are both nearly equal in terms of maturity. I can name only 1 game exclusive to the xbox that is family friendly. Although I can't do much better for Sony by only naming 2. Those games are fun and easy to pick up.
The 2 Sony games I can think of are Ratchet and Clank & Little Big Planet.
The 1 Xbox game I can think of is Banjo and Kazooie.
I love Banjo and Kazooie it's one of my most fond child hood memories. However they managed to muck it up by making Banjo look like a certain male appendage, and Kazooie Anorexic. Also they took Mumbo and put him into overalls.... And whatever that Indian chick's name is, and made her look like a wanna be Indian cow-girl.
Sad thing is, if they didn't screw it up I would have bought a 360.
Ratchet and Clank games are always good, and Little Big Planet was revolutionary. So both are very good games. No nostalgia but good none the less.
Anyway my point is the Wii has at least 10 exclusive games for kids. Parents will see that and say "okay lets buy it". It's like a Vsmile, only those completely suck.

i think its pretty neat that a game console has a background os from a computer... imagine the hacks that will come from this thing... possibly dual boot the ps3 os or 360.
I think you're missing the point here : It's Open source! That's really something interesting to be using open source to create a game console! So who cares if it's the 100th console release this year, it still is the first open source console.. ever (not counting handlheld pandora)!
@quintplayer5 : This also means that there won't be any 'hacks', all you need is to get the source code, modify it, recompile it, done! It's not a hack, it's just a patch! :)

yeah, think of all the new posibillities u'd have with an open source. Imagine ps3 open source, that would kick ass.

I dreaming of a new console history where every console on the market, also they from the big ones, will be open source.They dono support their consoles any more and all, including also FW and such things, will be developed from users, the community it self.Games will be only available per NET and will cost aroud the world the same price of 5 EUR.
So could a litle studio thei have very good ideas make her owen game without the need of Licenses and such things.In case thei are a litle studio the price of 5 EUR around the world will make them too rich guys and customers dont care about game pirating in case of such phenomenon prices and this also will to cause that, im sure, many users will pay 10 or more EUR for a good game without the need to do this.Just to say im sure thei will make donations :p
wow, looks cool but do you know the official release date?
