7 Steps To Make New Gaming Hardware Successful

Steve Peterson for alistdaily:

This year promises to be a banner one for interesting new gaming hardware, both accessories and platforms. There's everything from Razer's Forge TV box and other Android TV devices, various flavors of VR and AR including Oculus Rift, Sony's Project Morpheus, Microsoft HoloLens, and Magic Leap; possible new hardware from Alibaba, an Apple TV with games, Steam Boxes, and a whole array of wearables, controllers, and other hardware that promises to revolutionize gaming to a greater or lesser degree.

One thing we can count on is that each of these devices will find varying degrees of success, despite the fact that each represents a non-trivial investment and time and effort – not to mention the opportunity costs of what else those companies could have spent their time creating.
