Another day, another product rumour coming from unnamed sources. This time around, Game Informer has some anonymous sources who claim Amazon is developing an Android-based console that will release by Black Friday (29 November).

Citing those "who have knowledge of the in-development hardware", the report specifically said the Amazon console would include a controller and work with Amazon's library of Android apps.

Another website, called GamesBeat, also claimed on Friday that it had "heard rumblings" of an Amazon console and said unnamed developer also witnessed Amazon show off the system recently. That said, a couple of sources had previously told GamesBeats that they weren't sure if the console was a serious product from Amazon.
