http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/gamestickhed619px.jpg (http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/08/gamestick-delayed-again/)If patience is a learned skill, than fans of PlayJams' GameStick (http://www.engadget.com/tag/gamestick/) are certainly masters (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/06/early-backer-gamestick-units-delayed-to-june-release-dev-units/) ofthe virtue (http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/18/gamestick-delayed-until-august/): the diminutive Android Console has been delayed (http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/12/gamestick-launch-delay-october-29/) again. According to a GameStick representative, the Kickstarter backed microconsole's launch (which was supposed to be today, by the way) was pushed back due to production and logistical delays. The new launch day, November 15th, pits the $80 console (http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/27/gamestick-hands-on-gdc-2013/) against thePlayStation 4 (http://www.engadget.com/2013/08/20/playstation-4-hitting-shelves-on-november-15/). GameStick told us that it didn't plan to compete with Sony initially, but didn't want to delay the product any longer than necessary. It's a precarious position, to be sure, but the company seems optimistic. "Hey," the company joked with Engadget, "it's great to have a choice."
