God, $250? I can buy PS3+GTA V bundle for that price.

After Ouya fiasko, I will never get another android console. While it might sound nice and all, it's just not worth it at the end of the day.


That and it's made by mad Katz. Fucking shit company.

Om fucking nom nom. $89 for a full Exynos 4412 Prime device with 2GB RAM and expandable storage. It looks great if people are still into the Android console stuff but it also looks like a great idea for an arcade build Very Happy Emulators have matured significantly on Android, this will have no trouble playing most anything up to N64 era and PPSSPP improves all the time as well.

Such a shame too, the *idea* was fantastic.. it just took too long to come to market and was outpaced by the time it did Sad

What was fantastic about the idea? Crap in a small box. Any cheap laptop you can find could have been that amazing emulation box that people wanted, with a much better performance and compatibility. Video? You already have steamers with dedicated software at the same price and form factor. Shit, everyone got their phone that is more capable than these shits, even back in 2012. It was back then, and is to this day, a waste of money. Hopefully people got stung well and will not "support" other crapware like this, but who are we kidding.

Hopefully in 20 years it'll be one of those rare pieces of garbage that sells for a lot. Very Happy Mine is still in perfect condition in the original box! See you guys in 20 years! Razz

Former Kickstarter success story Ouya is up for sale

Quote:
From crowdfunding darling to horribly in debt.

Ouya, the company behind the Android-based microconsole of the same name, tripped a debt covenant (which means they violated the terms of a loan agreement) and is now on an auction block, according to Fortune. We do no know what the asking price is, but investment bank Mesa Global will handle the process.

The Ouya originally raised an astonishing $8,596,474 on Kickstarter in 2012. It later raised $15 million in Series A funding in early 2013. Despite this backing, the console never really took off. Developers had difficulty making money off weak sales, and the little box ended up facing competition from Amazon and others, who launched microconsoles. It also turns out that gamers may not want to play Android games on their TV screens, too.

We contacted Ouya to confirm Fortune’s report.

“Our focus now is trying to recover as much investor capital as possible,” Ouya chief executive officer Julie Uhrman wrote in a confidential e-mail sent out to investors earlier this month, according to Fortune. “We believe we’ve built something real and valuable. I continue to read the tweets and emails of our fans who play Ouya every day, and our catalog is now over 1,000 apps and 40,000 developers. We have the largest library of Android content for the TV — still more than Amazon — hells ya!”

Ouya will need to find a buyer soon if it wants to stay alive.

What a failure this was, can't believe I bought one.

I just feel bad for the company Sad It was a great idea but I guess you simply can't fight progress.. and they took too long to come to market, by the time they hit there were already far more capable systems out there and for a lower cost too.
