14 DAY TRIAL // The Xi3 Corporation, after shedding more light on its relationship with games studio Valve, has now revealed that the amount of pre-orders received for its upcoming Piston mini PC has been quite large and that it's going to have problems satisfying all of its customers.
The Xi3 Piston mini PC promises to deliver the power of a gaming PC in a small enough package so that it can be easily set up in a living room or taken wherever owners need it.
While it won't be the official Steam Box, on which Valve is currently working, Xi3 has emphasized that it's actually even better as it allows customers to do whatever they want with it.
After opening up the pre-orders and confirming that prices start at $1,000 (around €772), Xi3 has now revealed that it's worried about meeting the huge demand.
"We have opened Piston Console pre-orders and have been amazed at the interest and amount of pre-orders we have received thus far. This just reaffirms to us our decision to open pre-orders, because we are seriously concerned we will not be able to meet the demand for Piston Consoles for the 2013 Holiday Season," Xi3 CEO Jason Sullivan said in a statement.
Expect to hear more about the Xi3 Piston in the near future.
