Given the popularity of their EEE PC, wonder what name might be suitable for it?

Give yourself a shot at it!!

Mine:
ASUS Wee Wee
ASUS MyWeeWee
ASUS Pee Wee
ASUS SUX (ok, not very likely).

Asus Has Secret Console "Better Than Wii"7:30 PM - June 10, 2009 by Marcus Yam X

The Eee Wii? Weee?

Not only is Asus trying to beat Apple in the innovative design department, it seems to be thinking of going after Nintendo in the video game console segment too.


According to comments made by Jonathan Tsang, the vice chairman of Asus, in an interview with the New York Times, the Taiwanese computer maker has ‘polished off’ a video game system it claims can rival the Wii.


“We have a product we think is better than the Wii,” Tsang said. “But the content is complicated.”


Asus claims to have developed a system that has controllers that reflect motion better than the Wii controllers (although the playing field may have changed with Wii MotionPlus or even Sony’s PlayStation Motion Controller).


Asus’s problem isn’t with the hardware, given its systems design and production know-how, but rather getting the software support. A console is only as good as the games it plays, and right now Asus doesn’t have the games.


“Sometimes it is a chicken-and-egg problem,” Tsang added. “We don’t have the chicken, so cannot have the egg.”


Tsang also revealed that Asus has an e-book reader ready as well, but faces the same problem of not having content providers.

It's a "secret console", so no name yet.

This is certainly no Phantom console.

SEGA sucks. They made dodgy bad hardware decisions and arcade games that gets boring within an hour.

Before you say anything, i owns a Megadrive, Saturn and Dreamcast(now sold..crappiest piece of console ever with hardly any good games).

Maybe ASUS can bring all those Taiwainese RPG games to the English speaking world...i would love to play those RPGs...but can't read chinese.
