The Xi3 Piston - Who Is It For?

I like this guy's idea of aiming for games being playable anytime on the latest hardware and that is the direction I'd like to see gaming go. It makes preserving classics much easier to do. Although it is an unrealistic goal, particularly if they're going to roll with Windows OS, which is a more closed software platform than Linux. Nintendo has been ardently stubborn in keeping their games exclusive to their platforms as well. Also the price point of the Piston is a killer. It doesn't appeal to console gamers because it's too expensive, and it won't appeal to PC enthusiasts who would rather build their own PCs at that price point. It will be surprising if this system succeeds in the current economy.
