AmBX ambient gaming expected for PCs and consoles in 2008
The Philip AmBX ambience and environment changing technology will be released for PCs early in 2008. Recent news about the company says the light, wind & rumble technology is expected to also make it to consoles.
What are Philips plans with AmBX and the home console market?
“We started out making this product for pc-gamers because they generally are the most technology-minded. They will be most eager to try this new stuff. When it comes to consoles, we would first opt to develop AmBX for Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3. People who own those expensive consoles are more willing to invest in new technology to go along with their games.
So, no AmBX for the Wii?
“Wii-players are generally younger and also consist of people who haven’t played games before. This is actually a smart move by Nintendo, who really found an untapped resource of new players. But Wii-players are generally not very technology-minded. They just want to play and have a good time and we don’t think they would immediately embrace our system.”
