Acer videogames console coming in the next year?

Acer Aspire laptopAccording to recent reports the Taiwanese Notebook manufacturer Acer plans to enter into the videogames console market. Senior Vice President, James T. Wong, said this in a press conference. Most current consoles are closed and proprietary systems, which he said are basically “PC technology based game machines.” Acer plans to create open standards, opposed to Nintendo and Microsoft’s closed and proprietary systems, this could mean that game developers would not have to pay licensing fees for the publication of games on their system.

Betanews further expands on this news by mention that beyond “openness,” all of the Acer-branded systems being eyed right now, including the game machine, are envisioned as offering new and innovative form factors and applications. — Via Neogaf
