Eedoo to take on big boys in video gaming market

BEIJING - Chinese PC maker Lenovo will go head-to-head with the big boys in the video game console market, looking to snatch away market share from the likes of Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony.

On Aug 9, a team of some 40 Lenovo software engineers was spun off from the Lenovo Group to develop the "eBox", a platform similar to Microsoft's Kinect for Xbox 360.

The Kinect enables users to control and interact with the device without the need for a game controller.
