The creation of a Russian gaming console was estimated at 1 million rubles

The first forecasts about the budget of the Russian gaming console became known during the recent meeting of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. Thus, a representative of the company “Rosa” stated that the creation of a gaming device will require 1 billion rubles.

Judging by the announced amount, “Rosa” already has some developments — for the creation of a complex device from scratch, the amount of 1 billion is clearly not enough. It is also possible that government investment will not be the only source of funds for development.

It is worth noting that the finished device with government investment will not be able to use Google’s Android as an OS: according to the expectations of the authorities, the console should be based on a domestic operating system.

“Rosa” is not the only company interested in developing a gaming console. Several market participants are conducting research in this area, but no one has yet presented specific plans and deadlines.
