The Chinese mobile phone provider Snail Games will be bringing its Android console, the OBox, to the UK in early 2016, according to MCVUK. The OBox was first announced at CES earlier this year.
"We’re trying to push the technology again in a way that it’s not being pushed," said director for business development at Snail Games USA Dan Doughty. "Video games used to be synonymous with pushing the leading edge of technology – that’s really fallen by the wayside. Now PCs are pushing the video gaming environment because the consoles don’t do it, and mobile devices aren’t capable of doing it."
"The Xbox One and PS4 are already two generations behind in processing data and video," added Doughty. "They will four or five generations behind by their end-of-life. That’s not acceptable in a technology-driven world."
