Zeebo unveils videogame console for third world
SAN FRANCISCO - California-based Zeebo on Monday unveiled a low-cost videogame console targeted at ‘the next billion’ gamers in developing countries including Brazil and China.
The consoles are designed to download videogame software by means of 3G broadband wireless telecom technology built by Qualcomm, which is among the early investors in Zeebo. Both firms are located in San Diego.
Electronic Arts, Capcom, THQ, Gameloft, Glu, and Namco Networks were among the videogame stalwarts that endorsed the Zeebo console announcement on the opening day of a Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.
‘We are humbled to have the support of these gaming industry giants,’ Zeebo chief executive John Rizzo said.
‘Content is critical for the launch of any new console platform and with the support from these influential publishers ... we are well on our way to making gaming for the next billion a reality.’
Zeebo consoles will have a suggested retail price 199 dollars each when they make their world debut next month in Brazil. The price is expected to drop when the consoles start being shipped to other countries later this year.
Zeebo consoles will be sold with four games embedded and software for a fifth title will be available for free download using built-in wireless connections.
