Luckily the ouya is going to do just that, I wonder if Google will purchase them if they become profitable (or even without profits it'd be a smart acquisition for them and would give games companies more confidence in the console and building games for the Android platform in general) .



> Luckily the ouya is going to do just that

There's very little reason for anyone to have confidence in Ouya as a platform. From the developers' apparent inability to plan (still no dev documentation, still no SDK...and they're planning to release in the next eight months!) to their pimping of a port of the Android port of a DS game as the biggest thing that's happened to the platform. (I have the Android port of FF3 on my Nexus 7. It's ugly enough there. It's going to be really ugly at 40".)

I had really high hopes for this at first but this has been in meltdown mode pretty much from day one. I just hope that the hardware actually gets into users' hands, because frankly at this point I'm not even sure.


I am excited by Ouya - though the sticker for me will be whether it can play Netflix/LoveFilm/Amazon videos.

The gaming and media part is exciting for me, but I really want a replacement for the Wii I am currently using.

At the price they are aiming for (for future retail) and with the wide enough feature set, I'd be happy to buy two.
