[QUOTE="The Real Jdbye, post: 6570483, member: 248256"] This is what I'm worried about. I would buy it if it gave the full (handheld) console experience and also gave the full smartphone experience, but using Android would likely just result in another Ouya, and using a custom OS would result in a worse smartphone experience. Also, it would need proper controls. Something like the Xperia Play would work but it would make the device more bulky and heavier, a detachable controller maybe not so much as it would seem more like a smartphone with hardware controls tacked on. I just don't see how a device can function well both as a smartphone and as a game console, they have to compromise on one thing to do the other one well. I might buy it anyway just for the phone part of it, if it did that part well. I might buy it just for the smartphone part if it did that part well but as said above I don't think it could work well as both a smartphone and a handheld console, they would have to compromise on one or the other, and compromising too much on the smartphone part would make it nothing more than an expensive handheld console, it's more likely they'd compromise on the console part as people would still buy it just for the smartphone part (and everyone and their grandmother has a smartphone nowadays) It's gotta be a "Maybe" for me.
