I wouldn't say it was a "console" as such, more of just a living room friendly PC.

The problem with PC games is they're mostly confined to the desk, I guess this sort of system is designed to bring them to the sofa.

I'm sorry but I just don't see the appeal in this. Who would want one of these?

[djhworld]

I'd imagine the same people that buy purpose built media centres.

[Mike Fishcake]

They're going to have to do a hell of a lot of marketing to shift any of those units.

[schmunk]

I'd imagine the same people that buy purpose built media centres.

i.e. not many people at all...

Nah - its just not going to fly is it. Brave idea and they should be applauded for bringing this to market but the market aint ready just yet.
