1000 x 0 is still 0. Talking general public perception here, not personal preferences.
I was waiting for this!
Test patterns don't count.
Why would you do that?

In my struggling to fix my Internet, I missed this announcement. 
I want to see a video of it eventually.
From the sound of it, it doesn't seem like anything I want to buy from a console/handheld perspective, but I really want it from an Android perspective. I really want an Android device with touchscreen and buttons like Xperia Play.

So will it run some Steam games native eventually? I don't want streamed.
Its worthless for PC gaming unless all you do is play console port PC games.
If Nvidia hadn't been a world class douchebag to the console manufacturers maybe they would be still getting a cut of the industry pie and not have to try something stupid like this.
All you had to do was not be a douche nvidia

The box itself is an Android gaming/media device. Like most handhelds, you wouldn't be caught dead carrying one around in public.

I hope we are. We could really use a reset button before we go too far down this path.
When Steam adds Android games to their store which isn't such a big leap in my opinion, sure.

I guess MS is making something similar (using WinRT/8/WinPho8 devices), streaming content (games, movies, etc) from PC/Next Xbox.

Doesn't look that bad but very original Xbox.

This thing is ugly as shit and is not going to fit in anyone's pocket. This device is only portable in the sense that you can play games in your bedroom. No one is going to watch movies or listen to music on this thing, and while it's cool to have a device made specifically for Android gaming, I can't see anyone wanting to shell out the cash to lug around this monstrosity to play games that they could also play on something else in their pocket, albeit with worse controls.
The streaming of PC games is nice, but I would much prefer them to just release a small box I can hook up to my TV and control with a 360 controller.

This is a game made for Tegra 4 (from what I understood) but not builtup for that console.
The House of the Dead?

Pretty much. I don't think the novelty of playing my PC library on a portable at home (this isn't a remote internet device) is kind of taking the wind form under the sails.
Add the hitches we saw in the demo and I see red flags everywhere.
If it's cheap then I may care but right now I care very little.

My exact underwhelming thoughts.

God. Everything in that video seems dated, like they dug up a video from ten years ago. It's like with a nicer sleeker design they really could have had something cool. At the moment it looks horrible!
Wait, this is the first I've heard of this. Did they do something to piss off all the console manufacturers?
That last pic is spot on.

They have to redesign all the thing for do it at least portable

Then think of it like the Wii U. Use it at home and when someone wants to watch the television use the built in screen.

This is what happens when you let PC hardware manufacturers actually design consumer electronics.
You get a monstrosity like this.
This is one of the ugliest pieces of consumer electronics I've ever seen.

Oh, sorry I just meant the styling of the video - how it bolted together like a glossy plastic robot. Tech-wise, I'm sure it's incredible.
Shoulda hired some designers.
No... Dead Trigger 2.
More like, OUYA am cry. This shit is going to flop worse than Vita.
