So how dose it compaire to xbox one and ps4? 200 is cheap even the under powerd wii u cost more then that lol.

Hm...200 bucks for all that? Idk, I think I see a price hike soon.

And just like the Steam Machine....this seems pointless. :/

Why does the Steam machine seem pointless?

I'm not sure man. Maybe hit the jump?

Interesting. It reminds me of a slimmer and faster Xbox1. It even has the same Xbox1 colors of Black and lime green. It even has a controller that looks like Xbox1.

 

[Apollo]

The controller looks very similar to xbox.

So it's essentially PS Now the console, minus exclusives.

I still think an Android console has potential.

So I did buy this thing and I enjoy it so far. The game selection is semi-decent but growing, though the hook is basically Geforce where you can stream PC games from Nvidia's servers directly to a tv, 4K or no. That broadband has to be on point for it to work though.

Looks interesting. The specs for the Pro version look good. Not crazy about the selection of games though.

I still have a couple emulators to download for Mame and other systems. That will tide me over.
