OUYA
(http://cf.shacknews.com/images/20120727/ouya_22884.nphd.jpg)

Project Shield
(http://shield.nvidia.com/img/gallery/project-shield-open-left.png)
A handheld made by Nvidia! Wow this must be good...

Specs
-"almost no of observable lag between his handheld games console on-screen action and his Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 powered PC"
- high frame rates and smoothness of the gaming
-"Great sound quality"
-Pc games can run on this handheld (including borderlands 2, crysis 3 etc...)
-Built around nvidia's new Tegra 4 SoC engine

-2 concave thumbsticks
-360 like D-pad
-4 face buttons and 4 shoulder triggers
-5” 720p multitouch display

(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSN3LDG49WyPMIVSKMZVc-Ts9tUxzuUZX258CNS4olTEaGrkc0HUw)
Not sure if this is the real pic or not but it seems to be to the quantity of them

Specs
-Specs of hardware are not avalible yet
-Trying to bring the PC and Console into one
- would run any standard PC game title
-"Those controllers would be different than motion controllers like Kinect, PlayStation Move, and the Wii Remote, because they could grab data from your body without requiring conscious effort from the user. That means games using the technology would be able to respond to your physical and emotional states."
-"gamers and manufacturers will still be able to build their own crazy PC gaming systems."
-Controllers that respond to emotions
-"Imagine if zombies in the next Left 4 Dead could literally sense your fear."
-plenty of digital media like TV and movies, big-name games, and independent content like game mods and community-created items.
-Mods
-Player-created content
-Stores and Sharing

-For people who are going to say "this is fake where is your proof, just go type in the name of each console on the internet and you will get all the proof you need."

-And for those who say "emotion touch controller!? Fake!!!" You are actuly very wrong. The techonology is way beyond what we know right now, it just hasnt been revealed for most because they are all still in the making! We are so advanced at this point in time, just the technology hasn't been released to prove we are. The PS3 and Xbox360 were in the making YEARS before they were released, and they are amazing aren't they? Games like Crysis 3, Battlefield 3, and others that have amazing graphics, were in the making years before released.

Well now that you guys have read all of this, What console do you think looks best at the moment?!

The Project Shield from Nvidia isn't actually a console nor does it play games on it's own. Basically your PC with a Nvidia graphics card runs the game and streams it to the Project Shield but you control the game from the buttons on it. Also I don't get the big deal with consoles when one can just build a gaming PC that plays games at higher fps and with better graphics.  ;)

I've seen a ton on this as I'm a PC gamer. Basically it's going to be an android device that can stream games from your gaming PC with a Nvidia graphics card onto the screen and you control it with the buttons. It will also be able to play android games but that's about it really. The Project Shield will most likely fail... I mean who wants to play a PC game on a tiny 5 inch screen with a clunky looking controller when in bed or on the couch?

the only thing i can see this doing good in, is the fact that if you wanted to play your games at a friends house, and he has an extra comp you can stream from that is so shitty though so the controller would do good so you can still play together.

I will defiantly be getting the Xbox, PS4, and the Steam Box. Probably the other two if I become interested.

The OUYA seems interesting, I heard about it awhile back. I am looking forward to see it being released. I do plan on buying the new Xbox, and I have never owned a Play Station, I might consider buying that as-well, if I have the money lol.

I hear that they might actually call the next Xbox just "Xbox." But I could be wrong.
