Google to launch its own TV/Gaming box under the Nexus brand next year [ NEXUS BOX]

Yet ANOTHER Android gaming system

 

[itsyoung!!]

checking google's balance sheet they have 14 billion in cash and combined short term long term and account payables of about the same

the market cap for google is 353billion and nintendo's market cap is about 14b so buying Nintendo if it went for 14 billion only would wipe out their cash reserves completely.

Still would be awesome but is the Nintendo brand and the gaming market worth that much for Google to spend that much...probably not

but if google partnered with Nintendo on a new system that was powered by Google and combined Nintendo's brands and goodwill with Google's technology as far as having an entertainment system like the xbox one i think that would be worth something to consider for both companies

there just isn't enough room for a major system to compete somebody would have to drop out or the newcomer would fail...would Google like to take that chance I say it would be smarter to partner with Nintendo that has a solid name brand and only just recently sold 100 million systems

Nintendo market cap is low right now

they have 15 billion market cap

and still have almost 12 billion cash on hand

Google, Google +, Google Chrome, Android, Youtube, now this. Do you want a company that openly admits to spying on you to have all this information? Do you really trust them to having a monopoly on the worlds information?

What do you have to hide?

What do you have to hide?

Everyone has something to hide but privacy for privacy sake is good enough a reason.

I see Google is scared of the Xbox One...

I just hope they realize that there is levels to this shyt...

You do realize that Google is releasing this because of what Apple is gonna do with the next AppleTV, the media/gaming box Amazon is rumored to be working on, & Samsung is rumored to be working on something also?

Regardless all those devices gonna eat off the marketshare Xbox One is going for.

Microsoft has a very similar ecosystem and yet yall are not shytting on it. Google is just the easy target.

It's like Facebook. Google doesn't care if people know about their data-mining profits. At the end of the day, the same people criticizing Google are still using Google products every single day and will continue to do so. Google just simply provides quality services that everyone likes.

It would be awesome if Nintendo was bought by Google. Google is the type of company that would keep Nintendo in place as a company but could give Nintendo the same type of budget like Sony and Microsoft to be able to take losses on their systems and come out with appropriate power

Nintendo is far too expensive for Google to even go near.

We don't know if this is even a console to begin with.

If it is also a console, at least this is the official Google console unlike the Ouya and NVIDIA shield bullcrap.

Remember? Ouya?

Apple has been "about" to do something with the next Apple Tv for the past 4 years. Trust me, the Google Boys have seen the Xbox One and are terrified. The Xbox One is literally the perfect media center box. It has every major service on it: NBA, HBO, Amazon Prime, NFL, MLB, Blu Ray, Netflix, A fully fledged browser, as well as an amazing game library. All voice controlled. When compared to the competition like Roku, Apple TV, Google TV () and the plethora of other unsophisticated options, its really a no brainer which system offers the superior product.

Its a very compelling product and one that has all the tech companies worried, trust me.

Even the name puts me off the system.

Whatever kind of machine it is, if all it does is play existing Android games and Google is not hiring developers to drop exclusives on the system, I'm not interested

You think they can't put all those services on the Chromecast instead?
