Acer planing to make game Consoles
Posted: Mon Mar 17, 2008 1:48 am
Acer's Vice President, James Wong has said Acer plans to enter the console market. WTF?
Well, according to our German pals at GameStar, James Wong was said to take issue with the fact that the current state of the console market relies solely upon closed and proprietary systems. He sees this as an opportunity for Acer to get in on some gaming fun, and they plan to do this by creating a console utilizing PC technology, which will be, wait for it, a completely open platform. Such a preposterous claim must be taken with a large, Everest sized mountain of salt, but it is interesting nonetheless. For now, we know nothing more, but watch this space for more information.

Sounds similar to the Xbox 360.
