Engadget - It's a little early for an Ouya teardown, but Kickstarters who chipped in $699 won't have to wait long to see what the little console is made of -- Ouya's developer hardware is transparent.
Geek: Just as China finally lifts its ban on foreign video game consoles, one of its biggest electronics OEMs has announced a new Ouya competitor. It’s called Tron, and Huawei hopes to sell it for less than $120.
N10: "The low-cost crowdfunded gaming system Ouya gains $15M in venture funding but delays its launch until the end of June."
i really dont understand this product it has no google playstore and is priced within 30 pounds of a new ps3. Why would anyone by this?
What a stupid novelty.
IT WILL FAIL.
and the media will say "teh gaming industry is doomed! Teh gaming darling Ouya failed!"
...Yet, there was never a strong demand for it. Those idiots who contributed to it via kickstarter are just that.
fools.
Engadget - So you want a console for free, eh? BlueStacks is apparently prepared to offer you just that in its GamePop game console, which costs nothing for the month of May with a one-year subscription to the service (wouldn't you know it, that costs $93.83 -- just below the price of an OUYA at retail). Like its counterparts, the GamePop is powered by Android (4.2) and runs mostly mobile games. The company isn't sharing specs just yet, sadly. BlueStacks is promising "over 500" games, and has some top mobile devs offering credence with in testimonial.
These micro-console, are DOA, each and everyone of them.
I have no idea, why people are wasting their time & money on them,.
The Hulu of gaming?
Who knows what may happen in 2013?
I highly doubt this game system will make any waves in the industry, but the size and the price are certainly attractive.
when they said only the dev models are plastic, i assume they mean clear plastic, and regular buyers aren't going to get it in wood or something. o_O
anyway, i'd certainly love to get one of the final versions of this.
trouble is, being that small, i could end up losing it. ^_^
