Amazon Acquires Gaming Company as Part of its Digital Strategy

Amazon.com has acquired a video gaming studio called Double Helix, fueling speculation that it's developing a gaming console. Amazon has been leveraging its strength in media (books, DVDs, CDs) in the digital space, and just as it's producing e-books, streaming video, original "TV series," and mobile games and apps, it's now working on console games as well. The Washington Post wonders if it really is a gaming console that's in the works, or perhaps something different.
