Here's the deal with regards to Acer's supposed "games machine": they weren't talking about a "games machine" at all. Company VP James T Wong was just misinterpreted! A compay red has since said:
That was a major misunderstanding as JT was wrongly interpreted. Acer is not going to release any game console but the idea is to develop a high-end PC targeted at the serious gamer.Nothing further to see here, move along, move along.
Acer not making console: "James Wong was wrongly interpreted" [VG247]

At a quick glance, I thought this was a screencap from a Puppet Master flick.
great picture Luke!
He's going to claim misinterpretation again when all of the Media stop paying attention to them.
Would it be a bad idea to make a PC that would run like a console? Instant on, and have only the required software (operating system etc.) to run games.
Oh :( My hopes for a console which plays PS3, 360 and Wii games are destroyed.
@AnonymousFinger:
EXACTLY what i was hoping for.
@AnonymousFinger: Not a terrible idea by an means, I wonder how one could justify such a (probably expensive) purchase, and unlike a console one that would be oboslete/behind spec very quickly.
Told ya. Said that in the original article. ;)
@derFeef: you can fullfill your dreams with duct tape.
@tei: lol Duct tape. That would remind me of the days my old v.1 model Sega CD, Genesis, and 32X all stacked together to form this tall Sega Voltron.
Am i the only one who is disappointed that the original article wasn't:
"James Wong was 'wongly' interpreted"
?
Thank f*cking god.
@WildWon:
First off, I should punch you for even saying that. Secondly, that was funny and you're completely right (which just makes me want to punch things more).
Makes me sad... A console that actually tapped the indie game crowd would make a killing. Dev kits wouldn't even have to be free, let them charge 500-1000 dollors a pop, and it would spread like wild fire. After all who has 10k sitting around for a developer licence and then another 1 to 500k for a dev-kit.
And charge 1,800 for it?
Hmm?I dunno about the rest of you, but I thought of a gaming PC. Usually when a PC company says anything about a game machine, that's what I think of.
Well, except for Micro$oft.
