Could it be?: Xiaomi likely to release gaming console on January 20
Soon after the recent launch of it's flagship tablets, the Mi Note and Mi Note Pro, rumour has it that Xiaomi is launching a gaming console on January 20. A Weibo post from Xiaomi's page has a vague teaser image with three concentric rectangles and the text "Bigger is better". While it may not seem like all that much, the fact that it came from the company's gaming account (not the one for it's smartphones), as well as the icon of a controller in the top left corner, is quite telling. There's also the fact that Xiaomi has already developed gaming controllers in the past, that are supported by it's smart TVs and set top boxes, and that China relaxed it's age old ban on gaming consoles sometime last year.
