Apple apparently isn't the only one trying to break into the gaming scene, as Google is preparing its own gaming console as well. According to The Wall Street Journal, Google should be preparing its console today, and along with it, it is developing its own smartwatch with the Android operating system. It is not yet known when these two products will be launched on the market, but it is possible that Google will be ahead of the curve with its watch Apple, as long as he is actually preparing his iWatch.
Samotná herná konzola od Googlu by mala využívať operačný systém Google Android a preto je zrejmé, že všetky hry na ňu bude potrebné sťahovať a nakupovať na obchode Play. Spoločnosť by tiež podľa WSJ mala pripravovať druhú generáciu svojho projektu Nexus Q, ktorá by tentoraz mohla byť dostupná pre verejnosť. Google by má v pláne vydať aspoň jeden z týchto produktov na jeseň / podzim. Dôvod, prečo by si mali ľudia kúpiť hernú konzolu s Androidom, je prostý. Podiel hier na Androide rapídne narastá a predbieha spoločnosti s „veľkými“ hernými konzolami, teda Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo. This is also due to the fact that, while new games for these consoles today cost around €50, games with high-quality graphics on the mobile platform can be found for as little as €0,89.
Google will thus aim its weapons against Microsoftand Sony, which introduced the Xbox this year One a PlayStation 4. Očakáva sa, že celkový zisk z konzolových hier v minulom roku predstavoval 24,9 miliardy amerických dolárov. Google má ale iné záujmy. Google očakáva, že Apple will introduce a new generation in the coming months Apple TVwhich will support App Store and games with it. The claim is also raised by the fact that Apple decided to iOS 7 include game controller APIs, suitable for all devices with this system, incl Apple TV. Apple he refused to comment on this. Another competitor for Google is the Android-based Ouya game console, which retails for $99 and offers its own game controller.
Google wants to increasingly aggressively dominate the electronics market with its system, and according to the WSJ, Google wants to include Android in a number of other products, including laptops and refrigerators. The products should include a completely new version of the Android system, which is currently referred to as Key Lime Pie. This is the "K" version of the system, thanks to which Google tries to adapt to other Linux distributions. For example, Ubuntu designates each new version of its system by the following letter in the alphabet. Another product that Google is developing is a smart watch. Although we don't know what this watch will bring, it should connect to the user's device via Bluetooth technology.

(I didn't read the article) …
The whole philosophy of Google is based and continues only on "Disrupt something for someone, make it difficult for your own profit." The same Samsung. Looking back at the recent past, I must say that whatever mention was made that he wanted Apple (or someone else) to release something groundbreaking in their own segment, Google always released or announced it a bit earlier, even though it was imperfect and "sloppy". Still, Google has to be first. I admit that Google gave a "New direction" to the open source OS (android) and became almost the most widespread software giant in the world in a moment, but as they say "As fast as up, so down" ... Except for the Google search engine (Bing is improving, Yahoo is bad...) I don't use ANYTHING from Google and I hope I won't have a reason to, not because their products are directly bad, but I am a person who has principles and principles, philosophy and behavior of Google is wrong, which is unacceptable... Embarrassing strangers products in commercials, so often with still (like Samsung) can create a picture in my mind. Unfortunately, Mrkvosoft, whose Win8 is great (I have an iMac and under BC Win8) started to point me towards this...
Than having an Android gaming console at home. I'd rather dust off my Nintendo 64
My goodness, Mika, what is she like Apple TV game console? It's just a streaming device, and if Google makes a console (which, in my opinion, is just another boulevard like the watch), then certainly not as a competitor for Apple TV but rather because of the connection Windiws Phone – Xbox.
Competition for Apple TV there was a Nexus Q (a great machine), but due to the 3x more expensive price and unavailability, it was doomed to failure.
pepikzhospody: Read the article first, then you will understand why it is mentioned in the title Apple TV like a game console. Thank you in advance.
How can anyone compare mobile games for €1 and console games. 95% of mobile games are complete crap. OK, they have cool graphics, but when it comes to entertainment, it's a drag. Everything is rushed, limited, and I'm not even talking about control. A few days ago I paid €7 for an iPad game and turned it off after five minutes. I think it was the third and last game I bought. So I'd rather pay 30-50€ for a proper title than 5€ for rubbish, and I'm not talking about In app shopping…
Here everyone could understand why Apple they keep everything secret and those cats who bring it up don't realize what you're doing. Hope Apple also send misinformation, because my watch is going to wear out like a bird's eye if it is Apple does not intend to use completely differently.
