Acer not developing game console after all

Comments made earlier that week from Acer senior VP James Wong had the intarwebz ablaze with hunches that the firm could be entering the console market in one way or another. Now, however, a UK spokesperson has clarified that there “was a major misunderstanding,” and outrightly asserted that the outfit

was “not going to release any game console.” Instead, the notion is to “develop a high-end PC targeted at the serious gamer.” So yeah, you can take that Xbox 360 off of eBay — looks like you’ll be needing it for awhile longer.
