they haven’t yet, and I don’t think people will be willing to pay in hopes that they do. there’s also the issue of controller support. Some great games just don’t support them (TDKR, Predators). they almost have to make games specifically for this and if it doesn’t pop a big opening sales # I’m not sure they’ll see that as being worth it.

Depending on how well it streams PC games, I believe this could kill the Vita and 3DS. I would spend up to maybe $350 for this, again, depending how well it does what they say it does.

That’s what I did, hmi to hdmi adapter and a 10′ hd cable to my TV to mirror my gnex.

Not many people are going to spend a lot on a device that plays their pc games only in their home on a 5″ screen.

The ability to play android games is great in its own right, but the PC game streaming will be clincher for me. If they price it right, this could be quite the gaming device. I am guessing a minimum of $250 for this thing. I also ask this, how far can you be from your PC to stream games? Is this a line of sight thing or a wireless network thing. If I cant stray a decent distance from my PC, what is the point. It needs to work so you can be in another room, seperate from your PC.

At least where I live broadband isn’t ready to stream PC content.

Google fiber anyone?

I agree, I do not want to be playing any useless Android casual games on this thing. But if I could continue my Far Cry 3 save games on this while in the bathroom, that’d be great.

The only thing that could make this a winner is if they kept the price down. No one is going to spend $200 – $300 on this when they can just get a PS Vita or a 3DS.

Good luck going up against M&K players using joysticks.

Wireless connectivity to my flat panel TV and some respectable titles and I might be interested. But portable gaming and a 10′ HDMI cable for my TV just won’t do. Glad to see so many companies trying to compete in the console space, but it’s going to take something huge to knock off one of the top three. This looks like a nonstarter.

Well maybe you didn’t read the whole article. You can also play PC games on it. Yeas you do have to have Nvidias newest video card running in you PC but who cares. The device also doubles as a full on stock android device. Its more than just something to play 4 dollar games on and I think game developers will bring more now that they have a sweet little device to use them on.
