So the junk races have officially begun now?
Well, I guess we've just moved from indie game development to indie console development. I'm not sure where else things go from here.
Everything was metro
No kidding.

It is significant as evidenced by the raise of Apps and struggles of 3DS and Vita, and now WiiU in the West. A lot of people who would've bought an HD console in the past realized $0.99 games are enough for them.
Patented already.
P-L-A-Y isn't any less intuitive than Square, triangle, circle, square, really.
...which was one of the most un-intuitive button labelling schemes imaginable. I know it's second nature to Playstation gamers now, but toss a controller to a new gamer, and have the screen flash "Quick - Press Square!" and see what happens.
No they don't. Their controller has B on the right and X on the left. His suggestion is reversed.Microsoft uses it. I do not know if it is their patent, or are they simply licencing it from someone.
Wait... HDMI ports can power devices? oO
So performance-wise this is less than half an Ouya.
I would totally buy this over an Oyua because it's fanless, cheaper and runs stock Android with the Play Store. When it comes to power neither device is adequate enough for demanding games, I'd use it for multimedia playback or simple distractions like Tetris or Angry Birds.
That is true for just about every labeling scheme. Besides compass labeling (which most morons don't even know), what is intuitive? hit "B" quickly, don't look down! At least primitives like squares and triangles are culture independent.
makes me wonder why noone has tried the compass rose, N S E W. Simple and intuitive *runs to patent office*
So clever I'd need to look at my controller to determine which button to press :lol

why are these "consoles" a new thing in kickstarter :E
China is full of these already:
Because the internet is full of idiots who instead of doing any research, plop down $20-60 on an idea so that lazy greedslobs can then resell these Chinese sticks for 2x their actual value to the people who already donated money to them for the privilege of being taken even more.

Requires HDMI+ I think its called, and only modern recent TVs have them. If you have an HDTV thats more than a year old you are probably out of luck.
well, something like this or ouya will be more well-known and have support of devs and customer support. final fantasy 3 is already being worked for ouya controller and we could possibly see more support if it does well.
Question is:
Why would u choose Ouya or this for 99 if i have option to choose PS2 with its absolute mind-blowing library which is leap and beyond what android market will offer in next 10 years...

Ticks?Should've made the buttons like this lol. Innovation.
I know alot of gaffers don't like the Ouya but I'm pretty excited about it.

like a 150 million other people, i already have a ps2 and have played most games that interested me.
OUYA is a real thing with real expertise and real money behind it. (The Kickstarter was just a brand building exercise, their capital is coming from investors.) These Android sticks are a dime a dozen. And according to what I've read, none of them are as useful, durable or functional as the advertising would have you believe.
While your excited i will just plug my S3 into my tv with a HDMI adaptor and laugh
I don't know how anyone can scoff at this because POS versions already exist. Isn't that the point of tech? You know, all that improvement and stuff?
The gamestick is a POS version.
Please elaborate, I'm really curious how you came to this definitive conclusion.

quick, someone make a neogaf android console with neogaf indie exclusives!
