Lets try a third time. It would be helpful this time if you read what I actually say, rather than the imaginary version in your head.
Except I didn't.
It is very dissimilar to SteamOS.
The whole userland is completely different on Android compared to GNU/Linux.
As it is in SteamOS.
SteamOS might keep the GNU userspace, but it has been built on and customised in many other ways. Which was precisely my point - that just because you start from a basic core of Linux, or indeed a basic core of Android or any other OS, doesn't mean that these projects don't all built on it to their requirements anyway.
So when they could announce the Xbezos?
E3?

Good luck guys. Seriously. Good luck. Youll need it. No one wants an ouya.
PSOne sized and $300? This could pack an interesting amount of power.
That's true, but if it's using an ARM/mobile processor, what will their studios even have to work with? That sounds like it would be incredibly underpowered to get any of the games that people buy dedicated gaming systems for. Are mobile processors even capable of matching a PS3, 360, out Wii U yet?
I'm a prime member have been since the service launched and I would seriously think about this if it had a library of free titles for prime members. I'm also very interested in what games Amazon could develop with all the new talent they scooped up last year. I'm in wait and see mode here. Honestly though amazon doesn't launch products that bomba. They have way too much sales data on way too many markets to release a turd. But I guess there is a first time for everything.
Amazon doesn't sell hardware with much, if any, profit margins.If they don't overproduce and price with an appealing profit margin in place, this could be bomba-proof, as far as Amazon is concerned.

They should be trying to compete with the Apple TV. That is a more comparable device. The problem is that so many TVs now offer streaming software built in that it doesn't even offer anything new in that regard.
This thing has "day one jailbreak emulator box" written all over it. Android is swimming with emulators and they could run very nicely on something with a bit of GPU firepower.
Not condoning. Just sayin'.

An amazon, sony, nintendo future doesn't sound so bad actually
Why not MS?
Do you really have to ask after all that happened this last year?
It seems like there is too much elitism against Android.
It is a decent multipurpose operating system with a lot of support and is useful. And is perhaps the biggest competitor to Windows.
It's Anazon so I can't imagine anything but their own event.So when they could announce the Xbezos?
E3?
They didn't buy Double Helix to get them to work on mobile games.I don't think these will ever sell well. Everyone and their mother all have a smartphone; that's where these games are played. If I'm in my living room I'm not going to sit down and boot up a mobile game.
Android wasn't the reason why the OUYA failed: it was a bad controller, hardware just more powerful than a 2012 Nexus, and being kinda closed software wise. I'd think Amazon took notes, and won't repeat that.
I don't think it's going to be another ouya/mojo clone but something a bit more powerful, they didn't just buy up a game publisher just to make mobile games.
They didn't buy Double Helix to get them to work on mobile games.
They're after the big three, I'm sure of it.
This will end up being what the Wii U should have been.

I hope it's $200 below, or it's not going to sell well at all.
