Huawei has unveiled its own game console, called TRON, at the CES 2014 exhibition this week in Las Vegas, and says the device supports game titles that run on other platforms including PC, PS3, and NDS. 
 
According to a Tech QiQi report Wednesday, the entertainment terminal is developed on an Android-based platform and appears to be no bigger than a mug. TRON has a USB 3.0 port, aHDMI port, audio jack, RJ-45 port, and can be connected through Bluetooth to as many as four pad controllers, which each features a sizable touchpad and similar button configuration to a Microsoft Xbox's pad.
 
Despite its Android origin, TRON is not the base version of Nvidia's Shield. However, it opens the doors to game titles running on other platforms like PS3, PC, and NDS. All TRON-based games will be customized for Huawei and gamers can play across different platforms, noted the report.
 
Meanwhile, thanks to the Nvidia chip inside, TRON also supports 4K video playbacks.
 
Huawei said it currently offers 12 game titles for the console and the Chinese telecommunication giant promised more games would be on the shelf by May 2014, when TRON will be commercially available.

I'd like to know this as well.

This may sound far fetched by one x86 processor, one arm processor , one power pc processor and profit?

No other website mentions that it is cross platform.

 

It is probably just an example of "journalists" copying from the same incorrect source.

 

Also, the Zednet link just says it supports the same titles. It doesnt say you can put a ps3 disk in and play it.

 

OP has miss quoted it.

No.

 

It doesnt say anywhere that you can put a ps3/xbox/whatever game in it and play. Some games are on more than one platform. That is what it means.

great point. You can't just trust everything on the internet, especially if it's been quoted from an article that's probably copied from other sources.

 

However, reading your username does hurt my head... oh god please no

Unless it goes back to Nintendo or *shudders* Microsoft. Then we are screwed. :(

Well Nintendo is reasonable to emulate it seems with the infinite Nintendo device emulators we have so that wouldn't be so bad but microsoft :| no.

4k BluRays? If nothing else, this will probably be the cheapest 4k BluRay player on the market when they release it (like people buying the PS3 solely for the BluRay player).
