SALT LAKE CITY — January 16, 2013 — With more than 30,000 attendees flocking to its booth at the 2013 International CES trade show last week, it’s easy to understand why Xi3 Corporation Founder, President and CEO Jason A. Sullivan simply said, “We crushed CES!”
Even before CES 2013 officially opened to visitors a week ago on Tuesday, January 8, Xi3 took journalists and CES attendees alike by surprise by announcing a new “development stage system” called PISTON™ that was “optimized for computer gameplay on large high-definition monitors.” Within a week of that news release being distributed, journalists and bloggers had produced more than 5,000 new stories about Xi3 and its products, leading in part to more than 1 million views of Xi3-related videos on the Internet. {NOTE: Xi3 has generated more than 7 viewer-years of watched Xi3-related videos during the past week, based solely upon the length of these new Xi3-related news videos and their publicly reported views. Stated another way, that is one person watching new Xi3-related videos 24-hours/day for seven straight years.}
Xi3 also unveiled two new products at CES 2013, including
- Its previously announced X7A Modular™ Computer, Xi3’s first power-user computer, a quad-core machine priced from $999, and
- A paperback-sized general use machine known as the Z3RO™ Pro Computer, a dual-core computer priced from $399.
Both new computers are slated for General Availability in the Second Quarter of 2013.
Before the dust had settled at the Las Vegas Convention Center from the closing of CES 2013 last Friday, Xi3 had hauled in multiple awards and accolades for its newly announced PISTON development stage gaming system, including
- Popular Mechanics Editors Choice Award,
- Popular Science Product of the Future Award,
- IGN.com Best of CES Award (Best PC),
- Men’s Health Coolest Tech at CES 2013,
- Digital Trends Best of CES: Gaming, and
- TechRadar’s Best New Products from CES 2013.
“There’s no question about it—this was Xi3’s best year ever at CES,” Sullivan said. “We had more visitors at our booth, generated more news coverage and won more awards than ever at a single trade show. Clearly, the world is excited about the prospect of modular computing solutions and Xi3’s foray into gaming because they know if our softball-sized systems can handle the latest and greatest in computer games, then they can handle anything. This year—2013—is going to be huge for Xi3 and modular computing. And just wait until people see what else we have planned. This is just the beginning!”
