I have heard about the GPX, but i don't really think the embedded market is mature enough in terms of performance, but what about the home console market ?

I'm not talking about last-generation graphics, because that would be economically impossible, but what about an hardware as fast as a playstation 2/Xbox 1/Gamecube ?

For games, the trick would be to ask some editors to recompile their best sellers for the new machine: those games being from the PSX age or even older console generations, I think this would have a very low cost job and they could still make some good profit, but I need to know if this is doable technically, considering the architecture which can be quite exotic.

Do you think it would be a viable project to talk about to investors ?
