New 16GB Ouya revision out now, promises better controller and storage

The Kickstarter posterchild android console. I kinda want them to succeed. The Ouya is the underdog against Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo. At least they have fixed the controller. Which was very cheaply made and prone to falling apart. So doubling the 8GB storage to 16GB has put the Ouya at the same storage size as the PSP Go. The Ouya could have gone for 32GB of storage and reached the Wii U level.

This would have been a great marketing moment for Ouya and would have made Nintendo's 32GB of on board flash memory seem very limited. By 16GB of flash memory is more than enough for Android games. Not sure if the idea of playing Smartphone games on a full size television will ever catch on.

Ouya is trying to find a niche. Android games might be fine on a Samsung smartphone or even a Sony Xperia series of Phones. but just not compelling enough for the living room big screen T.V

Poor Ouya is without a real reason to exist.

Wait they still make these?

OuNo

And what about more BETTER GAMES? 8-\

OMG they're still trying holy SH@T!!!

My flashdrive holds 32, and its pretty old.

Can you feel the extra elbow room in that OUYA

"matte black" now we are getting somewhere.

The problem with the Ouya is that most core gamers would rather pay to have a high end device device such as Sony's or Microsoft's consoles rather than buying an inferior console. Some of us (myself included) are willing to shell out even more on a high end PC. If you aren't a core gamer, you can play games on your phone, your tablet, or even your laptop. Those gamers who are really hurting for cash can buy an older system. The 4 GB Xbox 360 can be had for $200 and has a much better library than the Ouya. If you can't afford that, you can pick up a GameCube and a nice selection of games on Ebay for well under the price of the Ouya. Simply put, the Ouya's market is very small and I'm actually surprised they haven't given up on that system.

These were the specs I was waiting for! Time to pick one up.

this is awesome I'll buy a wii u

500 Games and maybe 20 of them actually worth buying and owning. This machine is like a Beta Testing machine for all Indie games. i honestly don't want to test 500 games to find out which are good and which are horrible. I'm glad they went back and fixed the controller, but that was just one of many, many reason not to get a Ouya. If you have an Android Tablet or Smart Phone, you'll never need this system.

Huh. If the controller is better then I may have to take a stab at this.

The problem with ouya wasn't the colour or storage size, it was the lack of games that were interesting enough to want to play on your TV and not just on your phone.

I like the trolling in the beginning of this article.

"Watch out Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo! A new version of the Android microconsole Ouya has been released in the US."

Very funny Gamespot.

I think the Ouya is a misguided project.

It honestly looks like it's supposed to be sold to indie devs who want to develop a game developed around a traditional twin-stick controller without having to worry about paying for expensive licenses for Xbox and Playstation consoles.

What was the definition of insanity again?

Still with a lowly tegra 3?

The only way I would buy this is if it can play my Steam games using Steam OS... Even at low to mid settings haha.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Well I'm not quite sure if that was sarcasm or not but Steam machines are crushingly costly..

<< LINK REMOVED >> at the prices of the steam machines this is probably better value for money xD

I may have to pick one of these up. Best PC availbe tbh.
