Xbox fans have little to fear from this "console" announcement

No one knows what it is yet, but Slightly Mad Studios CEO Ian Bell swears it's going to be the best thing ever.

There's something to be said for wanting to shake up the way things are done in the gaming world and to encourage something a little different. Epic Games is trying to do this with its flawed approach to Fortnite on Android and its weird but pretty new store for PC games, and now it appears the folks at Slightly Mad Studios are drumming up hype for their own thing. Instead of just new software, CEO Ian Bell announced a whole new standalone console called the Mad Box.

What we 'know' about Mad Box

So what is this new console, and how will it stand up to the likes of the next generation Xbox we already know about? Well ... nobody knows. Including, it seems, CEO Bell.

What is the Mad Box? It's the most powerful console ever built... It's literally 'Mad'... You want 4k, you want VR at 60FPS? You want a full engine for free to develop your games on it? You have it.
