Gerry Carr ruled out the idea when asked if the system would consider game software:

"Honestly, no. We don't want to be a gaming platform, and the game-related overhead is too high. of course you will see more Linux games, but unless Linux is everywhere in the world, there will be no heavyweight works; in particular, the game machine is currently in a strong position. buy an Xbox and connect it to TV."

But Gerry Carr is very interested in the mobile platform, and a dedicated team is responsible for porting Ubuntu to portable mobile devices such as mobile phones. it is expected to be known during the year.
