When gamers think of consoles, three companies generally come to mind. These include Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. They’ve dominated the gaming market for decades, putting out amazing games with stellar graphics.
Well, it looks like another company is looking to enter the fold. That is none other than Google. That’s right. This popular search-engine company is planning to make an impact on the gaming market in the next few years, with a possible new console.
These rumors started to circulate when Google put out a teaser trailer. There are many things to unpack from it. It starts off by showing different gaming environments, from spaceships to sports car garages. This seems to indicate that Google is planning to put out many titles for different genres.
They’ve already had a lot of success with their Google Play mobile market. This platform has made them billions in profits, and apparently, they want to continue their quest for gaming domination. If there’s any company that could give the top console makers a run for their money, Google certainly could be in the running.
Although a lot of what they do is geared towards mobile gaming, they certainly have the man-power and resources to put out some amazing console games. They could learn from the mistakes of previous consoles and put out something pretty fantastic.
Going back to the teaser video, there is a little nugget worth mentioning. At the very end, there’s a possible sound of what the console will sound like when turning on. It’s a slight detail without a lot of confirmation, but still, it’s exciting to think about the possibilities.
Earlier in the week, there were leaks of the possible controller for the new Google console. It was polarizing to say the least. It featured a lot of sleek lines, but many questioned the controller’s practicality. Also, there haven’t been any sources confirming this controller design.
Fans waiting in anticipation for more news about a possible new console don’t have long to wait. At the end of the teaser trailer, Google shows the date 3/19/2019. It appears this will be the official date when they decide to unveil more of their gaming plans.
If you’re a fan of gaming, there’s a lot to get excited about. Another competitor entering the gaming market benefits everyone in the end. It makes each company put their best foot forward and make games that provide the best experiences. Only one week until we find out what’s in store.
