The PlayStation 4 launch was far more exciting, and the console sales have largely followed suit.
Given the weak launch library of the two systems.
Microsofts poor PR might well be the foot-in-the-door such a competitor needs.
Is Google the Gaming Industrys Sleeping Giant?
The rumors swirling around Apple arent the only indication that Googles got something big in the works, either.
Theres also evidence that its working on setting up its own first-party game development studio.
Android isnt the only gaming space in which Googles already got a significant presence, either.
What Will Googles Awakening Look Like?
What this means is that a set-top box running Android would be all-encompassing right at launch.
This rig known, Im told, as theNexus TV is supposedly on track to launch in early 2014.
With a little more hardware development, Google could equip its theoretical console with a powerful motion-control peripheral.
Now, its worth mentioning that theres a lot that could go wrong here.
Apple, at least, already has a more powerful peripheral to base its rumored gaming gear off of.
If it beats the Nexus TV to the punch, Google might well have a difficult time recovering.
While many other fields in gaming are flourishing, console gaming has entered a strange sort of limbo.
