Are Google planning to launch an Android-powered videogames console?
SEARCH engine giant Google are reportedly developing their own Android-powered videogames console, sources close to the company claimed today.
Insiders allege the California based firm are also preparing to release a smartwatch as they look to branch out from software and more into hardware.
The sources say Google are planning to release a games console and smartwatch to combat products rival Apple have long-been rumoured to release.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Google are hoping to design and market the products themselves and release one of them during this autumn.
The product will go head to head for sales with the latest consoles from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo.
The Wii U was released last year by Nintendo, while Sony and Microsoft will release the Playstation 4 and Xbox One later this year.
