KFC Console just launched a few months ago, while running Windows. Once Games move to ARM, I think we are going to see a lot more consoles based on Windows. All manufacturers need to do is to plonk in some good gaming hardware, add windows to it and they are done.

I think the ship has sailed for launching an entirely new console platform. It's superhard for someone to claw market share out of PS, Xbox and Nintendo. Not to mention getting game developers and publishers onboard. It's a chicken and egg problem where users won't come until you have games and games won't come until you have users. Making a windows based console solves the games problem.



KFC here is the actual Kentucky Fried Chicken, not an homonym.

The console has a slot to warm up the chicken.

I could not believe this to be true.

It is true! Everyone assumed this to be a hoax, but it's being built by cooler master.


I don't see how Windows adds any value to a game console, as they're traditionally understood.

Maybe if you consider it as a Windows gaming PC, yes, but not otherwise.
