Umm yeah but you'll have to buy the 3DS games to go with it, and those are $20 to $40, while all OUYA games are all free to try and only as much as 0.99 to $4.99. If you guy's just took the time to look at some OUYA gameplay videos on Youtube, especially the online shooter that resembles call of duty, you might be a little more impressed.

You must not notice but not many people in system wars love call of duty. Also, why should I be impressed it can play something similar that is not as good as the actual thing. Lets see Ouya with a game trying to be cod or a xbox 360 for around $60-80 used and just buy a cod game.

I can buy 100 games from the GooglePlay store from my Android Phone for the price of an Ouya

 

I've heard that Ouya might be able to SNES games, that would be the only way I would consider one.

Any Android phone from the last 5 years can emulate Snes games

Besides we all know it's not made to be a direct competitor with the big 3, it's made to be a cheap alternative.

So i think for those of us either sitting around waiting for the next gen PS4 or Xbox or just trying to save some money on costly games.

This $99 Android console would be an interesting change of pace for a while....if not only to kill time until the big boys release theres towards the end of the year....anyone else considering buying one?

I would rather burn the 99$, would be much more fun and usefull

On another note, i have so many ACTUAL games and REA LEXCLSIVES to buy, that those 99$ can go towards 10.000x better things, like Tensei 4 for 3DS, Zelda for 3DS, Bravely Default, Layton Azran, Last of Us, Dark Souls 2 etc

If I spend $100 it will be for a corsair h100 or use it towards galaxy s4, so no. Even if I did not have something better to buy I still would not buy it, because it seems pointless when I have a android phone.

Being that you can side load a lot of the games you want to play and that there will be a lot of emulators made for it running in 1080P, I might consider it. Its a good emulator and Indie game box.

 

Not sure I will buy one at launch. Might wait for the OUYA exclusive Apps to pile up, before I buy.

I'm not against it, I just feel that I can get my money's worth by getting a system that's already established and with plenty of support for years to come.

It's marketing has been practically non existant, it will flop and they will go bankrupt.

parkurtommo

Careful,..what you say, over 7 years ago alot of people in here said the Wii would flop and it outsold PS3 and 360 for a few years...."PEOPLE LIKE PAYING LESS".

We still don't know the PS4's and new Xbox's price point, but the Wii-U is already really expensive and not selling well at all.....So no one can predict the fate of the OUYA just yet.

Wow waaayyy too much hate here, we're just talking about using it as a temporary cheap alternative until the new PS4 and Xbox come out. I mean the OUYA games are dirt cheap, you can play online and try as many as you want for free, plug in an external hardrive and fill it up with hundreds of new and old android or classic retro titles, i think it could offer a nice change for a while.

im not sure yet. reviews of the released units have been poor, especially on the controller. i know its only 100 quid but a poor controller would make it useless. if the final released units are in good shape in terms of reliability and build quality then i may take a punt.

The hardware is what, 2 years old? I could just plug my phone in with an HDMI cord and use a PS3 controller to do what an Ouya does. There's no market for this thing. Not to mention there's under 10 games worth playing and all of them can be played (better) elsewhere. $100 console with a new model every year that has no games is not worth buying, especially when it offers nothing else outside of that.

All of them? Otherwise, why not just buy them on the Wii? They have a lot of the good ones now, like Super Mario World 1 and 2, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country 1, 2, and 3, etc. They are having Super Metroid on sale for 30 cents soon, and you can buy it for 150 Club Nintendo coins now until May 7, 2013. If you have a 3DS or a Wii U, that would be more than enough to net you the Club Nintendo coins necessary to purchase it.

No thanks. I have far too much of a backlog that I'm not even getting a PS4 or 720 at launch (unless by some miracle I've finished all these games I have by then, or they come with at least 5 games at launch that blow my mind to the point where I just can't say no). So there is no way I'd even consider getting this.

Systems don't sell without marketing. Another thing that doesn't help is that most of its games are mobile games available(right now) to anyone that owns a smartphone, how do you convince them to pick it up?

I'm sure everything stated in the above article is true, however similar articles were also written about Nintendo's Wii-U hardware against the aging hardware of PS3 and 360, naming the Wii-U already obsolete before it's release and yet Nintendo still released the Wii-U, and although sales are bleak for Wii-U it will still have games made for it and be on store shelves for another 5 years minimum. I'll state again for the record, with the OUYA having such a low price point, and free to develop and market for game scenario for indie developers, no one can predict how exactly the console will do.....So far i've just heard various opinions in here, and none of us have a crystal ball as far as i know.

The fact of the matter is anyone who has a modern smartphone like an android device or iphone would not need the ouya because you can use a bluetooth sony controller and an HDMI adapter. Ouya performs badly and the games coming out for it (except just a few) are mediocre at best. i would recommend a Wii because of all the games already out.

Yes, because installing a GPU is akin to rocket science--SO DIFFICULT! :roll:
