Mysten Labs CEO: Sui's gaming device SuiPlay0X1 is a "software game"
On October 12th, according to The Block, Evan Cheng, co-founder and CEO of Sui blockchain development company Mysten Labs, said in an interview in May that a "ChatGPT moment" for cryptocurrencies could come at any time. In a recent Mainnet conference interview, Cheng reiterated that that moment is yet to come, but it is still not far away. As for how Cheng plans to let Sui lead this breakthrough, he believes that his blockchain has the best potential to achieve this breakthrough by catering to "disruptive developers" and conducting extensive experiments.
One high-profile experiment that Sui is about to embark on is the SuiPlay0X1 handheld gaming device, which is now available for pre-order and is scheduled to launch in 2025. While some may see the device as a hardware-level layout, similar to Solana's Web3 phone, Cheng sees the device as a software product rather than a hardware product. "It's a gaming device that can play all Windows games," says Cheng. "It's better than other devices in terms of deep software integration and operating system integration. Even for existing Web3 gamers, it's a better product because of the software. Hardware is almost like a commodity, and the software experience is the magic, the winning formula."
