14 DAY TRIAL // Razer unveiled Project Fiona at the CES with claims that it will redefine the way PC players look at their gaming devices and the leader of the company believes that the innovation included is a sign of how the PC market can be revived.
Speaking at the CES 2012 trade show Min-Liang Tan, who is the Chief Executive Officer of Razer, has told Kotaku that, “The PC giants have stopped innovating and we’ve been left carrying a very small flag. I’m sick and tired of it. I wish they would do something about it. I wish we could do something together.”
He added, “Even as these companies continue to shy away from what we do I have their CEO’s coming up to me and saying, ‘Man you guys have got some balls.’ We were just given 50 million dollars for research and development, so we’re clearly not alone in our fight to bring innovation to this industry.”
The executive says that his own company would like to see others enter the PC based gaming market and deliver competitive devices because that would lead to an overall price drop that would benefit gamers and would allow Razer to show the quality edge that they have.
The CEO also believes that gamers tend to have a very good or very bad view of his company because of the passion they invest in their projects, which can be off-putting for some.
Project Fiona is a powerful gaming PC encased in a tablet space and with two innovation controllers added to either side, allowing players an extra layer of control options.
The company says that the device can run all current PC games and makes it much easier to play in any space and in any situation.
Razer has not said when Project Fiona will be available at retail or how much it will charge for the device.
