Sometimes Google feels unfocused to me, and this is a good example of this. This reminds me of the Nexus Q which came out a year ago — and was never backed a real national (or international) ad campaign. Is Google really ready to make a real game platform, or is this just another android thingie? In the same way that Apple struggles with software services Google really has a way to go with hardware. And I don't mean just making good hardware, but marketing it to a mass audience.

  There's the Android NDK, which can be used to port C and C++ games. Some plumbing required.

    Yeah, on Android C and C++ developers are second class citizens when compared to what they enjoy on other mobile platforms.

The Nexus Q feels like Google realized it was a dead product as soon as the first shipment left the factory, before it was publicly announced.

The Nexus Q feels like the Nexus One. An experiment paving the way into a market. A hardware beta test. I expect to see an amazing Samsung gaming+streaming machine running Android.

  If you see an announcement from Samsung they won't mention Android!
