It’s been about 9 months since the folks behind GAEMS portable gaming case went radio silent. However, it would appear that during that time they’ve been hard at work refining the case and are now set to deliver a refined product that resembles the spit and polish that we generally see from larger companies.
So what’s changed since the first inception? First off the form factor, as you can see, is slicker and now includes enough room to store 2 controllers, 4 games and a console’s power supply – no more backpacks. They’ve also designed the GAEMS case to accommodate not only the old Xbox 360, but the newer, slimmer 360 or PS3 slim – sorry, doesn’t look like there is any official support for the Nintendo Wii. To be absolutely clear, only one console can fit at a time and we’re told that more can be stored in the ways of controllers or peripherals when the PS3 Slim is in place.
PC like experience on PS4 – Sony’s attempt to address cross platform gaming
Bit-Tech: Perhaps the biggest surprise was that the tide of console gamers is a cultural phenomenon which does not appear to cross every border. According to NPD's research, while the UK has the highest incidence of console usage out of all the markets analysed Germany boasts the biggest number of PC gamers.
France, meanwhile, is clinging on to dedicated hand-held consoles like the Nintendo 3DS and Sony PlayStation Portable at a time when NPD's analysis shows that gamers in most other nations have ditched theirs in favour of getting their portable gaming fixes on smartphones and tablets.

you mean like japan, europe or the US where the 3ds is breaking records?
People are ditching the 3DS so fast in the US, 3ds sales have doubled over ds first year sales and the year isnt even over.
No source, no truth
who approved this garbage?
but 250 million global online PC Gamers say other wise.
Everyone with a Gaming PC can play Wii Games so does that mean the world is a Wii Nation?
I think people just enjoy Games and it really doesn't matter the platform.
Console Nation, PC Universe, iPhone Realm, doesn't matter just enjoy your Games.
Considering most PC Gamers will own 1 or more consoles , declaring the UK as a "console nation" is complete and utter bollox.
owning a console and playing the occasional game once in a blue moon doesnt make you a console gamer. Just like owning a pc and maybe playing some random flash game doesnt make you a pc gamer. Alot of pc gamers bought ps3s, its a blu-ray player and media hub that plays games.
I'm from the UK and game on nearly every platform I can think of.
But yes in general I'm more thumbs than fingers when It comes to my games.
Remember in December of last year when Paul Christoforo became the pariah of the internet? Ocean Marketing was at the center of a scandal that took the internet by storm after Christoforo exchanged rude, angry emails with a customer of Avenge Controllers, for whom Christoforo was providing customer service. I recently had the chance to speak with Paul about the whole ordeal and what his life has been like since.
hmmm interested....
Wow, never heard of this before. Now i want one.
No power supply, you'll still have to plug in the lcd screen and console separately. Great for playing over at a friends house though I guess...price isn't terrible I guess either...you're getting a pretty decent carrying case with an 18.5 inch lcd screen in it(you'd still have a hard time convincing me anyways to pay more than 150 maybe 200 for something like this. I just wouldn't have much use for it. How cool would something like this be though with its own power supply enough to run it 5-8 hours off one charge. I suppose that's what laptops are there for though.
i can't see a use for it really. It's too big and bulky to really be portable.
i'd rather an NGP.
thats cool.but would have been cool if the monitor could moved up to the front so its not in back of the consoles
