Between Nintendo’s Wii, Sony’s PlayStation 2, and Microsoft’s Xbox 360, is there really any room for another major video game console on store shelves? Lenovo apparently thinks so. The Chinese PC manufacturer is readying its own competition–the eBox.
Lenovo is apparently taking the Wii’s ball and rolling with it. The eBox is set to be an entirely controller-free console, controlled entirely by gestures, in manner similar to Microsoft’s own soon-to-be launched XBox 360 Kinect.
The eBox, according to Lenovo, “targets the entertainment needs of 120 million Chinese urban households.” The console will be targeted primarily toward China, where it currently controls about 20 percent of the PC market.
The eBox will then be slowly rolled out to other Asian countries and the, eventually, the rest of the world.
