Google Is Making A Video Game Console, Which Means Euuuugggghhhh

FleshEatingZipper writes: People are freaking out today at the prospect that Google is making a video game console. Since Android is open-source, hardware would-be players like Ouya and Gamestick are already beginning to fill the field by crafting their own gaming hardware on top of Google's mobile operating system. My thoughts are lukewarm for a variety reasons I'm about to get into, but anyone expecting some kind of market disruption out of this needs to slow down on the headlines and Facebook posts, because a Google console can create more of a mess than it creates.
