It's rumoured that Google is working on a gaming console. No details are known yet and it looks like the Google game console is a closely guarded secret. I was thinking if Google indeed announces one; then how will the console wars pick up in coming days? There are few important points to note -
1. Google's a software maker; not a hardware maker.
2. They got into hardware through acquisition of Motorola's mobile business.
3. Motorola isn't into gaming devices.
What this means is - Google's got very limited expertise as compared to Sony and Microsoft when it comes to hardware. But boy, they do excel at making great, lightweight and fast running software. They already have the control of the entire Android Operating System and through play store; they have access to tens of thousands of games.
If Google launches gaming system, I'd assume it'll be based on Android and will basically be meant to play all the mobile based games on a larger screen.
On the other hand, PS4 and XBOX ONE are already dominating all the discussions around the next generation of consoles.
Do you think Google has a chance to fight with Sony and Microsoft in the game of consoles?
