HP challenges console trio for online market |
Ó
Everything makes sense now as to why HP was intent in acquiring Voodoo PCs in the last quarter of 2006. It's on its way to embarking on a big quest to eat a portion of the online gaming pie.Boldly, the company most recognized for its work with printers and laptops announced that its "Game On" project will go head to head with the console giants - Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo.
Analysts are skeptical as to how HP will pull it off, pointing to the fact that the console market grew by a third last year as compared to only 1 percent in growth for PC gaming.
HP's gameplan is to invest on Voodoo and use next-gen PC gaming software and hardware resources to gain a competitive edge. HP says that in the era of the broadband connections, people can easily jump online and enjoy the games there.
That's not to say HP has no prior experience with game development. HP Labs has shown a bit of what it can do by bundling demos of small games with HP and Compaq laptops in the recent years.
So, will the masters of printing ever dominate the PC gaming online community? That we don't know, but the more the merrier, right?

Voodoo is a boutique PC manufacturer, not a game company. I own a Voodoo Envy laptop.
Voodoo GAMES, moron.... Not VOODOO PC... Google companies with the word Voodoo in their name...theres more than one I promise... But you are right. Voodoo is not a came company, Voodo Games IS. Voodoo is an occult religion practiced in Haiti. Silly kid.
There's no such thing as Voodoo Games. Do some research before you run your mouth. Voodoo PC was acquired by HP in late September. You'll notice that the blogger has now changed the article to reflect that fact. You have anything else to say?
