Winner: Vii meets the PS3 and a new legacy is born

An eager tipster sent in a pic and some info on what appears to be some sort of PS3 clone called "Winner" – think Vii meets PS3. While the Vii concentrated on mimicking (horribly, but still) the Wii's feature set, the Winner is all about mimicking the PS3's myriad media functionalities. That means a photo player, karaoke functions, SDHC for media storage. But it's all about the (really crappy) games, right? Winner is going to be packing 2D and 3D graphics with online and motion sensing features (note the totally not-a-Wiimote controller). How much would you expect to pay for the privilege? Did you say $600? No! Did you say $400? No! How does $120-150 sound? At that bargain basement price, these things are really going to go fast; good thing they're promising 3 million consoles for the Japanese and North American markets.

3 million for Japan and US markets? I doubt any sane retailer would waste shelf space for that. Its funny, rather than actually try and make a real console the Chinese have to make "rip-offs".

Seriously, if a Chinese company truly tried to make a legitimate console, maybe combining PC game playability with 1st party, LEGITIMATE games, maybe they could actually earn some real money.

No, it won't. See what happened with the Gamate, Watara Supervision or GameKing.

And those failed because:

1)They were never advertised
2)They never made it to store shelves

By making a legitimate console, I mean going 100% legitimate, with real marketing (using REAL translators, not retards or Google) and acquisition of shelf space. The things necessary for selling a product.
