Google Planning Game Platform To Counter PlayStation and Xbox- Report
Google is aggressively recruiting veterans from the gaming industry, including Phil Harrison, who has previously worked at PlayStation and Xbox both, and is also getting game developers on board. The idea is to get them to make games for their platform, and also to purchase as many of them as necessary.
If this ends up being just a streaming service, I don’t know how well this will do. While more and more companies have stated to mention streaming as a possible future delivery mechanism for games, including Ubisoft, Square Enix, Microsoft, and EA, on the whole, streaming services haven’t done all that well in the past- remember OnLive? Even PlayStation Now didn’t do too hotly.
That said, if it actually is a console, and a high end one at that, they could definitely take on Xbox and PlayStation. Nintendo, of course, are insulated in their own little niche of the market- but for the AAA gaming console market, the battle could be about to get more heated up.

Xbox Can't wait to hear more about this and see what they have up their sleeve. Most likely won't give up on my Xbox though.
I completely agree, I won't give up on Microsoft.

Seems like theyre more interested in the streaming side, which is a good move its far from saturated

I hope so, as long as they are committed to cross platform then any competition is good competition

Good for Google they definitely have the resources to be a main competitor on the gaming stage. I think if they decide to make a console it will be a beast.
