What you think about the new game console OUYA?

It will have success?

I know many gamers like Minecraft, it will arrive on OUYA?

Will you buy OUYA?

I wait opinions from you.

I already bought it (from the kickstarter) so yes. 99$ for a media player(xbmc 1080p resolution ) with network capability that can play game, shitty game or not, it still a good deal for me. I can't build anything for 99 $ that can do all that.

This is exactly what I backed the project for. To have a nice, tiny, portable media center.

This worked for Sony, as PS1 was cheap CD-player, PS3 - cheap Blue-Ray player. They had failures, like movies on UMD for PSP. But positioning game console also as media center was greate idea.

They chopped the shipping off for kickstarters, but really its the same price, I mean you could always buy it in a store but then there is tax.

i already have a PC, which can do all that stuff already. If I needed to use a display in another room all id need would be some dvi or hdmi cable and wireless kb/mouse.

From what I read, it doesn't allow the play store, which might be a deal breaker for me. Here's what I find very cool, especially since it will be able to stream steam: http://shield.nvidia.com/

That's not an OUYA. The OUYA will come with rooting instructions and an OUYA-specific XBMC distro, so you can do whatever you want with it. This thing will be awesome

I already have a PC, Xbox and Wii hooked to my TV. I don't see the Ouya supplying something I'm missing. I find NVIDIA's Shield attractive on the other hand.

It may be good as a small Android media center/server or as a magical Android box that can almost anything. But Android and gaming doesn't fit together. There are almost no games that support game controllers and I don't think that will change soon.

I think that will change soon. All these Android consoles (in particular NVIDIA's) are likely to get developers to add controller support.

I'm not much of console player, only consoles I have are the Dreamcast and the Wii. Might still end up buying this when it's released. Waiting to see how it fares. Could be a decent media player with the ability to play games on it.

I actually might. I havent done anything in the latest generation of consoles and Im a big fan of Android and its accessibility, it has huge potential but I'll have to see if it will be realized.

Its based on Android and has the latest Tegra3 and on top of that its overclocked to hell and back I hear since it has no battery concerns like tablets/phones. Benchmark

It should emulate rather well.

How are the N64 emulators on Android? Never tried them, this seems to squeeze a bit more juice out of the Tegra3 so maybe it will perform even better.

I saw a video of one of the early buyers running their flash game on it and it lagged.... not sure if this will be any good for emulators.

That is because flash games randomly lag even on the beefiest pcs.

Lol. You know that the console will be basically a smartphone? there will be only old games and indiegames, which are way easier to copy because the games are very small and they don't have money for a good protection.

Except they're not so basic now, a port of Terraria is on android, and other PC indies like Edge, Cogs, Warzone anomaly, Avadon and especially the games from Madfnger.

To be honest maybe. But only as a media center or anything else.
As a console, definitely not.

Also, I don't think it will be much of a console. And it is quite normal, since its target is casual gamers, not PC/PS3/XBOX360 gamers.

Sure, it will most likely get support from enthusiasts/geeks etc. (me included) but not for being a console but for the fact that it will be modable and easily customizable.

Unfortunately, there are companies that oppose the idea of an 'open' console, like Sony, EA and Activision. I just hope they won't be able to do anything about it.

No, I rarely play the games on my phone already and don't think playing them on a bigger screen would help much. It has mediocre specs and no amount of exclusives will change the fact that these games are developed for what is essentially a mobile device that is a poor replacement for a full-fledged PC or high end tablet. They'll have a market, just as the Wii did when it initially came out, and after an initial peak around some holiday, sales will more than likely flat line. Then after a few years of declining sales, after the next generation of consoles and more powerful mobile devices, with built in HDMI out (already on the newer batch of phones), it will die a slow agonizing death...

If this does 25% as well as the Wii did it would be a smash hit, that system sold by the boat load...

Also thats sorta what happens with any system, I don't get the point you're making totally, yeah system get old and then fade away when new ones comes out, thats pretty normal...

Not saying it will sell like the Wii - was more a statement likening the Ouya user base (once it launches) to those Wii owners after the first year - almost NONE of my friends were even looking at their Wiis after the first year - and yes, that sounds weird. Also, within a year of release the new generation of consoles may be out, putting even more of a dampener on sales of this thing and once the sales numbers drop, so do the developers... So my point is they may be lucky to get one year of good sales, but shortly after it will go the way of the doodoo - er, I meant dodo...

EDIT: However, I'll bet that modders and others that did not buy it to play Android games on will be using it for years after...

EDIT 2: I'd rather buy the Steam console if it ever comes to market, but who knows - I've owned almost every console ever made after Colecovision and I think that I may skip the next round of consoles and stick to my PC unless there are more numerous and more compelling console exclusives than there have been thus far.

I might skip the main 3 this time around also, but I own a Wii(Got it a week after it came out) and still play it a lot honestly, I see what you are saying, I am still going to pick this up, I don't have much to lose since its only 100 bucks(Probably gonna split that cost with a friend I am living with haha, so 50 :-P).

I think its mainly aimed at indie devs and this is nice for them, I don't think every dev will drop support based on the crazy rules that the bigger consoles set on indie releases. But who knows, if it bombs hard game wise thats fine also, I got myself a little tinker box/media center for a pretty low price still. I mean look at Boxee, thats crappy and cost more(Its broken XBMC basically).
