It's an open-source console. While technically its only 3/4ths as powerful as the current gen consoles the potential for hardward upgrades, mods, and things like that really make this thing interesting. For game developers, its a godsend as the actual console itself is like a dev kit. Expect tons of mobile game ports (the center of the controller is a touchpad) and possibly a few titles from bigger game developers in the future. I think this thing can really take the game industry by storm once the PEOPLE start adding all their own crazy mods and indie games to the experience.
If we can actually upgrade the console's hardware and take advantage of it's potential, the possibilities are endless. Imagine playing Skyrim ona console with mods or something. At only $99, I'm really tempted to pre-order one. If they can have 2-3 really good lauch titles I'll probably pull the trigger. The funding for the Kickstarter page ends August 9th and they've already gotten close to 4 million within the few couple of days. The official launch is supposed to be somewhere around March so depending on how much funding they get by August it might provoke some AAA game developers to get involved sooner than expected.
