Do you have room in the market Gamepop Android console? - GamerZona

few days ago met the arrival of Gamepop, the first console BlueStacks with it went to an emerging market such as that of home consoles with Android operating system. One of its major proposals is their flat rate video game. Will foothold in the competitive market of this new hardware consoles?

Gamepop hit the market with an innovative business model in an experiment that adds the properties of a mobile service with a home console. This is a new device with Android operating system that includes 500 preinstalled games on your hardware and will be marketed with classic pad. But the main strength of the console BlueStacks will be in your price.

first I will have to pay a single euro to acquire it in its promotion. In return you will pay $ 6.99 a month and shipping costs, which will amount to $ 10.90 (a dollar less in the U.S.). What would become the commitment to stay by the console would have the minimum of one year, so if the user decides to cancel your subscription for the first 30 days of contract will have to return the hardware and pay $ 25. In the following months, the figure will rise to $ 100. From the first year the console, which is valued on its website for $ 250 with the aforementioned 500 games, and will be owned by the user.

include Android 4.2 operating system you can install other applications on the device. It is also expected that the initial catalog of games look progressively expanded and included within this flat fee, while others will have to purchase titles individually as happens in the case of Ouya, which is expected to be his great rival .

The proposal has been quick to unleash the debate on the Internet about the possible success or not Gamepop or be a mere fad that will not end consolidated. Although initial demand Ouya has been strong are many who observe with suspicion these initiatives as they have very difficult to offer the possibilities of the current consoles ( PS3, Xbox 360 or Wii U ) despite its low price.

arrival of PlayStation 4 and the new Xbox could complicate its consolidation more if possible. As we have recently seen both Sony and Microsoft will try to add to his cause to independent developers and the most affected segment is precisely the device as Ouya or Gamepop. If to this we add its commitment F2P model expected to develop in the Next Gen and shift to the mobile sector , the attack could be very difficult to counter by these alternatives.

In any case, this does not detract or originality to the new model introduced by Gamepop. What is your opinion regarding the proposed BlueStacks? Do you have gap in the market or will be reduced to mere anecdote with the arrival of Ouya and Next Gen?
