Nah, they should wait for Tegra 5. Or why not building a GeForce graphics card together with an Intel i7 into this thing? The technology is there - today!
Its similar to having one of those Smart TV/Smart TV adapters, except way more powerful and was built with bluetooth capability in mind. Oh and it comes with 2 controllers for gaming. Pair a bluetooth Media keyboard and mouse and its the best media console you'll ever have.
I hate the way Android handles network drives, so no expandable memory is a downer. I guess its USB HDD or bust.
Nope Tegra 4 is here.. waiting 3 months for over 4x the performance would not hurt at all... as well a great selling point.

I'm sorry.. its 6x as powerful
Did we really need an unboxing video?
Mobile SoCs are always very cheap. So it probably only cost Like 4$ morewhat is the price difference though
they'd have to get systems to the devs first, let them develop, then push out to users later, introducing more and more delays into the system just means someone else could beat them to the market.
as said previously, there is absolutely no reason why they can't follow up a successful launch with rapid hardware upgrades, just like tablets and smartphones. But they need to get to market asap. Hype has a short half-life.
Really? I think everyone has considered that.I think a lot of people haven't really considered that *so many* of the games that are built for android touch devices simply won't work at all with a controller...
There willing isn't a great selling point.. playing cellphone games on TV.. but Tegra 4 spec wise could compete with consoles. Not to mention there are cellphone adapters that will allow you to play cellphone games on TV, which makes Ouya with it low spec kind of gimmick.
it takes 18 months minimum and millions of dollars to develop console quality games. This is just not feasible or reasonable.
They can launch these on the Tegra 5 hardware when the chip costs are reasonable in 2014.
You'd be surprise what indie developers can do.. don't sell them short.
What's stopping Samsung or Google from creating a better product for cheaper?
Or anyone for that matter?
So who is going to be picking up this next gen console?

I also just want to point out that the Gamecube retailed for less and you got more.
Go on, please enlighten us.
It is $100 for a nice emulator box.
Uhm...enlighten you with what? Thats the price you could buy it at, and a lot less (mine was like £69 with a game iirc and the additional controllers were nice prices too).
You got a GameCube, at launch, with bundled game, for £69? Surely that's years after release.
If you want to start making those kinds of arguments, I'd say I could find a used SNES with a dozen games and multiple controllers for less than an Ouya. Or an iPad 1 with a million mobile apps.
And you said with the GameCube you "get more".... Get more what? More Hulu? More Android games? More emulators? It's Android... You get a LOT.
EDIT: this comes off sounding really defensive, sorry! I'm just shocked that people don't see a small market for a cheap android mini console / media machine. Maybe not a big enough market to make a difference, but again.. Android is the market. This is just another gadget tapping into that.

Okay this might sound really really stupid but...
I don't have.. any .. media..device/adapter-thingies..
I guess it does a lot more than just playing games?

Nothing really, and if they do competition is often a good thing. But the OUYA has the huge advantage of being first to market, getting a LOT of press, and a lot of game-industry knowledge behind it. I mean, you can't just release a game box and expect to succeed, you gotta get the games.What's stopping Samsung or Google from creating a better product for cheaper?

First to what market?
The budget/indie game console market, filling the gap that Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft are mostly ignoring.
Frankly, the Vita demographic is more existant than this.
As I've said before, I still don't get the point of this product. What need is it filling that isn't already being filled elsewhere?
You honestly don't see a market for a cheap game console with cheap games, particularly in this economy? I mean, the cheapest normal retail price you can get a Wii U for is $300, XBox 360 is $200, PS3 is $300, even a plain old Wii is $130, compared to the Ouya's $99. In addition, all the Ouya games will be free to download, and I'd be willing to bet the highest-priced games will be $20, which is normally the budget price on consoles. So cheap games that you can try for free and only pay for if you really like them (or if you're a real cheapskate, only play the free bits and never pay for a game).
Also, a LARGE percentage of games on the Ouya are going to be indie games, which are often very great games since they take the risks the big publishers aren't willing to make - if you like indie games, this is the console for you, it'll probably eventually end up with more indie games than come out on PC, assuming the Ouya sells decently.

Are you really calling someone out for posting something of questionable usefulness?
No bumpers/secondary triggers on the controller?
Ah, okay. It's hard to see with the clear plastic.It's got both shoulder buttons and triggers, and the triggers are analogue, so better than Wii U in that respect.
I really want to see this thing flop. The whole thing seems soooooo terribly pointless.
Did you ever consider that games that could be designed with Ouya in mind? I could see people making games for the Ouya specs and then porting them to PC and consoles. Especially 2D games.I think a lot of people haven't really considered that *so many* of the games that are built for android touch devices simply won't work at all with a controller...
