Evo Smart Console is Linux-based |
These days it’s unusual to hear about a new game console that isn’t from Sony, MS or Nintendo. But it looks like we have a new contender from Envizions Computer Entertainment. This is their first console, the Evo “Smart Console” which is available for pre-order. Interestingly, the console itself is basically a Linux-based computer.
Some specs include an overclocked Athlon 64×2 5600 processor and an ATI Radeon 3200 graphics card. Envizions sees the console being used as a development platform with a “cloud” computing system. What that means is that developers would have to make games specifically for the Evo “Smart Console.” Could that happen? They think so. The new console should ship on November 20th for about $600 and you can pre-order one now with a $100 deposit.

I’ve seen something like this before, on a “top ten things that failed” list or something like that. =P
What is the point! They will never be able to compeate with the likes of Sony, MS, Nintendo…. Game makers will not dedicate their time on making games which will work with this consol when they are already making so much money from the above consols.
