The Android marketplace has taking the mobile market by storm and a large portion of sales in the marketplace is for the sale of mobile games. Rumors are gaming is their next big agenda???
The Gaming News & Reviews blog, has interesting editorial that believes Google just might be thinking of going direct head to head with Microsoft and others by launching their own 'gaming console' more then currently with what you get with 'mobile gaming' on their Android OS.
The Android marketplace has taking the mobile market by storm and a large portion of sales in the marketplace is for the sale of mobile games. Many games are either coming out on both iOS and Android, or coming to Android first. While mobile gaming is blowing up like the bomb, console gaming is overall gaining in popularity (apparently more popular then porn?). Console gaming has gone mainstream, and long past are the days when gaming was just for "nerds." This is a market Google has to take some interest in, to some degree. After all, one of their direct competitors Microsoft is the "King of the Hill" in console gaming at the present time
Saying all this, it seems Google has started taking a step into gaming with their new technology, dubbed "Native Client", Google can run native code directly from your browser, allowing developers access to the systems hardware itself in order to deliver high-end games. It's a pretty awesome feature, which could potentially have an impact on the release of games as we know it. Being able to release a game through Google would mean less piracy and a secure connection for everyone. Google has plans to add support for controllers and gamepads in the future with a lag free multiplayer connection. This could be the beginning for console quality gaming directly through your browser and more.
But reading this rumor editorial it seems like Google is going more 'software side' launching a service like 'OnLive' and allowing publishers to stream their high-end console quaility games most likely thru some new form of HTML5 connection, so I am not seeing how this blog thinks it is 'console', I don't see how 'streaming' and be called a 'new console', more like a stripped down version as set-top box, and we already know Microsoft is rumored to be doing the same thing as part of their Xbox Next project.
