I never thought I would write these words. There is a new company entering the console wars. These days were done. You either got your xbox or your playstation or your switch and that was it. Unless you could afford an awesome PC. But those were your options. And it use to be only sega and nintendo consoles. Well now it is looking like Google wants in. And if any company can compete with the big boys it is Google.
There is not many details yet but it is looking like it will be a hardware system and it will probably be streaming. Streaming is the way to go. You can hook up a small google box and play any game you want online for a monthly fee. No longer having to drop $70 just to try a new title. There was doubts that the next playstation would be a streaming console and if this is the case then Google can beat them to the market. And if the hardware is cheap and the monthly service is priced well they could easily get their foot in the door.
It will come down to games. They will need to get the library to compete. But we are getting close to seeing the run for the Netflix of gaming and it looks like Google may be taking an early step.
It will be a great time for the gamers come next gaming cycle.
