I love that blip in the end. Sounds and looks like a console boot animation.

 

I don't know what this will be but im definitely excited for it

 

It'll basically be Shield TV 2, and thus doomed to obscurity much like Shield TV was, for having no exclusives. The streaming options on the Shield TV are pretty nice, as I'm sure will be the case for Google's console, but I can't see them doing much to set themselves apart from the competition otherwise. Seems foolish, especially at a time when Microsoft is seemingly contemplating getting out of the console race.

Then again, Google has plenty enough money to throw at any project they wish, so more power to them I guess. I won't be buying it though, no real collector's value in something like that IMO.

 

Lol no thank you. Moved away from Google as much as possible already, I don't need their shite android box spying on me either.

 

I expect them to try full on streaming - Google just hasn't been much of a hardware company themselves. Maybe a very cheap android box plus controller you can attach to your TV that simply streams it, but a chromecast should be able to do practically the same thing.

 

It's literally why companies throw teasers like this, to encourage speculation.

We speculate that IF it's a dumb streaming machine + garbage mobile ports with SOMETIMES controller support, then it will be complete SHIT.

 

If it turns out to be an Android box with real performance power and the price is right, I may pick it up. I like the cheap Android TV box I have just for video playback. If it doesn't cost me an arm and a leg, this would be a nice upgrade that can game too... But I'm only interested if dolphin can run at fullspeed. If not this would be worthless to me.

 

Google just needs to except the fact that they are and always will be a powerful search engine, but then again, I guess you can never have too much money. Go for broke, google.
