Ouya: The Future of Gaming Consoles?
This project was announced like last week, but they threw up the Kickstarter this morning and already full-funded.
Not what's important, what is it? Quote:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...o-game-console There's more at the link including a video. I think the idea is very intriguing, and the project has already been backed. Now curious to see how the business side of it actually works out. |

Interesting. These are already the sort of games I play exclusively these days. Believe I posted Canabalt here before. Pretty content just playing them on my computer though.

For $99 I'll give it a try. If it takes flight then great, if it doesn't I won't have spent too much on it. I'm curious about it and curious enough to get one.

I really don't see how this can be successful. It seems to be taking the best pieces of console development (the closed platform) and throwing it out the window. In addition, it seems to be further segmenting the Android market further than it already is. Not really sure who would develop for such a thing, and not really sure what consumers would want one for, especially given the hardware. By the time it launches we may be well into iPad 4 era, and that'll be the type of hardware it's competing against.

Right now they plan on sustaining themselves on F2P games, extended demos and indie titles. I mean.. it may work.. but we shall see |

Honestly the game industry needed something like this since xbox live actually worked. I'm pumped to see where this goes, and for 100 dollars I'm down with buying one.
