A new gaming startup named Zeebo has has big plans for its eponymous gaming console…and it’s not to take on the Wii, Xbox 360, or PlayStation 3 head on. Instead, Zeebo is aiming its inexpensive console at emerging markets like Brazil, India, China, and Eastern Europe, betting that people in those countries want to blow things up, race cars, hack up zombies, and save the world from alien menaces just as much as gaming-saturated markets like the U.S., Japan, and Western Europe. And Zeebo’s console integrates phone technology from Qualcomm to download games and content over-the-air: no discs to buy, and users won’t even have to have a data service plan with local mobile operators.
