Yeah, we've been making deals with companies, getting custom hardware made from technologies we've licensed. Like that quad-core CPU, it's based off of the Arm11 MP architecture. Don't worry, it'll be plenty good for gaming.

Well, although this architecture may have enough horsepower for games it's still rather uncommon. As long as plans said something about a x86 CPU with Linux porting Nexuiz to it was a no brainer: It would most likely run out of the box. However, this new architecture may need tremendous porting effort. I have no idea how good the toolchain for ARM is, I don't know if you're still going with Linux. I have no idea what your graphics hardware turns out to be and how good its divers will be. Nexuiz has no OpenGL 2.0 ES backend (that's not quite OpenGL 2.0 as used on PCs, albeit similiar).

This doesn't mean you can't use Nexuiz on this console, but you may have trouble finding someone doing the port.

Seems they are built upon the ARM architecture.
