I don't, but perhaps I'm the anomaly.
Anti-dumping laws? I'm not talking about giving them away, just taking a loss on each unit. It's assumed that PS4 and XboxOne will be profitable on day 1, Amazon could release something and take a $50 loss. Nothing illegal about that, they're offering a new product and trying to compete and get a foothold in the market, this is done all the time.
"Asking developers to include controller support, to have an instant library" strongly suggests android doesn't it? I.e adding controller support to touch games.
Or they're talking about controller support on PC games and they're going to integrate their PC Game download service into a hardware solution.
Not after this. This market takes no prisoners.Some people hate Sony, some people hate Microsoft, some people hate Nintendo, some people hate Apple...
But everyone loves Amazon.
oh mai gaww... Jeff Bezos is invading!!!
Their Kindle seems like a big thing for them. I have no complaints about their services.
instead of being sensitive and offended, why not address my point?
Are people comparing this device to an OUYA just on a hardware level or do people think that an Amazon led effort would end up in the same position? If you think it'll follow a similar path as the OUYA you are seriously underestimating Amazon's ability to reach consumers.
IX86 hardware makes the most sense for a newcomer. Maybe they're teaming with Valve for the Steambox.
I think Amazon was probably blown away by the PS4 and Xbone pre-orders and decided to give a console a shot.
1. Amazon doesn't care about profits.
I think it sounds completely true, but short-sighted.Really, really won't believe this until I see it. A retailer making a game console just sounds too farfetched to be true.
The Washington PostBOX.
ruined
*flexes*

*sharts in face while wiping with Amazon future consoles mass failure*
or Amazon buying Nintenoooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
I'll bet that this is an always online console, they don't have Microsoft's baggage to deal with and Amazon is already seen as an online company.
Amazon will do what Microsoft didn't have the balls to - they have that nice Whispernet tech too.
I'm interested but I feel 4 big consoles is too many for the market. One of them is going to have to go.
