Razer to Prove Death of PC Gaming Rumors Greatly Exaggerated

This Friday, Razer will be unveiling something big to the world of PC gaming. Could it be the official launch of their Razer Switchblade?

First seen at CES this year, the portable device utilizes a multi-touch seven inch screen, an innovative adaptive tactile keyboard with customizable LED keys and an Intel Atom processor Z690 running at 1.70 GHz.

Razer took out a full page advert in the Wall Street Journal prefacing the event:

We have all heard the rhetoric about the demise of PC Gaming - the stories that console gaming will take over all gaming and that PC gamers will be left with shoddy ports of console titles. The rumors of our untimely demise have been greatly exaggerated.We are more than 300 million PC gamers worldwide and this legion is growing every day. Today there are more PC gamers than all console gamers combined and we have been silent in the face of the closed gaming systems that have been propagated. We, the PC Gamers, have been here since the beginning and have seen the industry grow to surpass movies and music, and we look forward to an open world where console and PC gamers will stand side by side as gamers in arms. We are here today to tell you, that on the 26th of August, we will seek to end the silence and bring a new age of openness and innovation to all gaming. Together we shall remind you - that PC Gaming is NOT dead. GLHF, Razer

A website with a spoken version of the above, www.pcgamingisnotdead.com has also been set up.
