Slightly Mad Studios, the makers of honk ’em ups including Project Cars and Need For Speed: Shift, have announced plans to launch a games console of their very own.

What does this have to do with PC gaming? Well… I hope this daft plan doesn’t drag down a studio who make pretty deece games and employ 160-odd people.
