Engadget has an article on their site where Abazar Vahkaria, the head of gaming for Dell, speaks out about how its not unthinkable that Dell could get into the handheld market. To see the article click here.
I for one would like to see more competition in the video game console market. I want to see failed consoles and successful consoles. I want another xbox or playstation to drop onto the market and cut out a piece for themselves. I think Dell is large enough financially and as a brand to possibly have some success at such a venture. If the handheld device they are possibly developing was able to get great third party support I would be willing to purchase one. Though I often am a whore to my DS I am by no means opposed to owning multiples of any type of console. I would defiantely buy a PSP if there was more than five games that I felt compelled to play. Please Sony make me spend my money on your products!
I digress….I hope this is not just rumor or heresay and that Dell really will look into getting into the console market, handheld or otherwise. Increasingly consoles are just becoming closer to dedicated gaming pcs anyways so I think Dell could be in a good position to release a competitive gaming machine.
