I started from PC, and am still in PC (but not as deep as I was 20 years ago). I wish Acer good luck, but I personally don't believe it will be succesfull.
I knew Acer back when it is just a small company in Taiwan (not gone global yet), and Stan Shih is still the major shareholder there. Now Stan Shih is only a minority shareholder, and Acer technical edge is way down compared to Stan Shih era. Acer dream of Server majority (like Compaq, HP or IBM) cost Stan Shih his share (Acer almost went chapter 11 before), so I hope that this console effort is not a second major blunder that may put Acer into "chapter 11 candidate" the second time.
