You better watch out, Xbox: your future as the dominant video game console now lies in doubt. No, there wasn’t a new announcement on the PlayStation or Wii fronts. It’s not even a resurgence in PC gaming you need to worry about. Your end lies in Android’s Ice Cream Sandwich and its ability to transform into a mobile gaming console on the fly with just a couple of cables and a gamepad.
We’re kidding of course – at least about the dim prospects in the Xbox’s future. The Ice Cream Sandwich bit is totally real. Engadget pointed us to a tweet by Google framework engineer Romain Guy:
So there you have it: all the components necessary to turn your Galaxy Nexus into a portable gaming platform, if not quite a portable gaming powerhouse. Honeycomb has supported controllers on the tablet front for a while now, but it’s a new feature for smartphones. Time to stock up on gamepads, HDMI cables and Mountain Dew and get your Game Dev Story on on the big screen.

It took me several days to read it because I’d read it in snippets, leave to do something else, and then come back to it.

Sometimes I sound like I’m arguing, when I’m actually not. I just have a way of putting my posts stronger than intended.It’s easier to keep out of the conversation and not take the chance of being misunderstood.

I always follow all your news but this one I have missed. It is really a new fact for me about and I will definitely try to find more publications about her. Well, I have to admit that she is really a beautiful woman and personally I think that she is very similar like Alexis Texas! Look at her. Anyway thanks a lot for sharing this wonderful news!

"Better watch out, Xbox?" Wii has the highest install base, and PS3 has the highest software sale numbers. . . what makes Xbox the leader in consoles, exactly?

I actually really like alot of the Android games. It's a break from the same old FPS / RTS and action adventure games they serve us on Xbox, PS3 and PC.
