I think getting into consoles is a mistake. I think slowly we are going to see console making companies merging until you only have 1 console and everyone just developes games and apps for said console. |

I personally see it as a great innovation, allows for indie developers to get their games, etc. out easily and with a decent profit. Plus most people believe it'll be great for emulation on the TV.
Overall I'll be buying one and seeing how it turns out!

28k supporters, 3.5 million in funds so far if they keep this up it wont have to sell boxes at launch theyve probably made back there investment 3 times over already and the backers keep dropping more cash. i mean a goal of 900k and were well on the way to 4 million THATS 4,000,000 dollars at almost the end of day 2. I dont care if you hate the idea of this console or not there getting quite a bit of backing from it seems that alot of people that either have way to much money and nothing to spend it on or just some DIE hard open source people that really wana get something like this on the market either way its already a success if it never sells a single box once launched. |

Its not really targeting core gamers or big time publishers. Its targeting people who are tired of what the big three are offering and want that old school console feel brought back to gaming at an old school price. People who like free games (every game has to have a ftp component - if any group can appreciate that, it should be modern day MMO gamers who demand all MMOs go ftp) and indie developers and hackers (every Ouya console is also a dev kit).
Plus it has one of the Xbox creators (Ed Fries) backing it, so its not exactly some fly by night company out to scam people. Perhaps it will fail, but you will never succeed if you are afraid to fail. "When did having enough stop being enough?"

i think it's an awesome idea. hopefully they succeed and shake up the over-priced console gaming market. |

This looks really interesting, but there's always that looming cloud of whether or not major developers will throw their hat in the pile. That's not to say indie titles can't provide a lot of enjoyment, but many console gamers are also invested in their favorite titles and series games and that would make them hard-pressed to want to change platforms just to support "a cool idea". |

Seems more then unrealistic, and like the developers would be far and few with just ports/next to no popular titles.. Reading through their kickstarter page, it's more like they just want people to play pc/mobile games on their tv's....

This just shows that android was the best creation any company could have thought of.

Well the hardware specs look like a top end mobile :) infact thinking about it my HT one X is probally more powerfull than my PC was 4 years ago LOL.. so could it be a good dedicated games console?
I dont see why not the android OS is very capable and takes very little resources to run, there are tons of gamse already available on it and not all are casual boring mobile games.. With big game engines like Unreal and Unity easily available for game development on the android platform im pretty sure we could see some really nice games..
Dont get me wrong i mean sure its not designed to be a competitor to the current generation of consoles or the next but it will be cheap and im pretty sure the games wil be cheap as well..
I could see this selling quite well if they manage to pull it off.
Its not somthing i would buy as im really only a pc gamer but i can see a lot of people who would want it :)

Suspect KS will be 2nd funding cycle before VC's/AI's etc are rolled in to make this get off the ground. Still with Mr. Garriot's predictions re social games, who knows? |

Only a gig of ram? Prepare for lots of loading, and poor performance. I can't imagine trying to load and play games, while streaming twitch.tv, and playing at 1080p. Yes, it might have a quad core, but a gig isn't going to let the quad work completely. And only 8 gigs of space? Hopefully it will have some kind of sd card slot? Going to have like 2 games MAYBE on there, unless they are just going to be short games like on the phone. Why would I want that? I'm highly skeptical, I think it's probably going to be a flop. |

There's going to be tradeoffs. You're not going to get the Crytek 3 engine to run on that platform. You don't need to though. The Nintendo Wii still outsells the PS3 and the XBox 360 and it doesn't need to red ring systems to sell more of them. The Wii also has a lot less horsepower than either of those systems. The Wii's best resolution is 480p and it still outsells the other systems. Though, to be honest, I expect what will happen is these Android 'consoles' will eventually get built into televisions, blue-ray players or they'll just be our cell phones that we drop in a cradle near the television. I don't think their competition is existing or new consoles but the ability to stick an Android device almost anywhere. Join the League For Gamers. |
