Lenovo has shipped 40 of its software engineers to work for Beijing’s eedoo Technology. The team has been tasked to develop and market the “eBox” game console to the Chinese people.
The world’s number 4 leading PC maker has quite the task ahead if it plans to compete against such systems as the Xbox 360 and PS3. Not only that, but China has been notorious for its bootleg market, making the console gaming market a tough niche.
For a while the Chinese-based PC maker has been trying to diversify its sales away for solely personal computers, as Lenovo has tried its hand at smartphones and has plans for a tablet PC. The question is if Lenovo manages to build a competitive console, will they try to expand to the international market.
