Amazon to release a game console?

Amazon also founded Amazon Game Studios, which released its first video game, Living Classics, in August 2012. Last year, Halo novel writer Eric Nylund joined the developer as its director of narrative design. Earlier this month, Amazon confirmed that it acquired Double Helix Games, the developer of the recent Killer Instinct and Strider reboots.


Sony, Valve, Nintendo, Amazon, Microsoft, Baidu, Google, Oculus, the ecosystems just keep growing..... If you wanted job security, which company are you going to design games for? Competition is good, if they want my exclusive title, gonna have to fork over something of extreme value yes?

    If amazon is to release a game console, I'm pretty sure it will be something (100% ran on android) and not do well like the Oyua.
