HCL Infosystems enters the gaming zone

Delhi-based HCL Infosystems became the first Indian company to enter the handheld gaming console market earlier this month. The move is part of the company’s plans to expand its hardware, services and ICT systems integration and distribution business.

These handheld gaming consoles launched under the ME brand, will compete with market leaders like Sony’s PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DS. The casual games still have a huge market in the pre-teens segment and HCL is readying various devices and games to target this segment. Beginning with a range of low-cost gaming consoles, HCL ME are custom-made for children between the age group of four and 15 years.
