@maniaxe613 The best answer I can find to this is because we live in a greedy world hence Nintendo is so successful and they are selling recycled games since SNES.
This news is remarkable because in a way it gives indie devs inspiration to keep on making great games.
It still surprises me that in a industry where FPS are sales hits there is a game called Minecraft which is made on a much smarter and educational level and is booming at the same time making all other AAA companies green with envy.
My favorite project right now is OUYA. I would soo much like to see it to succeed. The openness of it is something many have been waiting for quite a long time now. This very factor can boost creativity and new ideas in a quite large manner. It welcomes a lot of indie game devs with open arms. The Kickstarter was a giant hit and it has a lot yes a lot of potential! You can even open it up, hack it and do whatever you want without voiding the warranty!
A lot of people don't seem to know how much potential is hidden behind Android. Many have been looking down on Android since it started with phones, but just a few years later it's dominating the smart phone market. Those who never owned an Android device or don't know who XDA Developers are, usually don't have a clue how much more you can do with it then any other smart phone on the market mainly because it's much more open then its competitors. Of course Android had issues with game development because of the diversity of devices it supported but they are working a lot on it since Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) can as it is seen came quite far.
With today's handheld console marketing situation it'll be tough to get somewhere with this device. If it really would be as open as all other android devices then it might be it'll get somewhere. But it will be hard!
