Look at this console on youtube.
I can't help but feel it is pointless, why just android game ?
However it can play emulators,
Seems good.............my main concern is that the 1gb of ram won't be enough, if the games ever get seriously graphic intense in the future.
I thought it wasn't just android games, it depends on developers.
The other issue is the 8gb of flash storage, they better have a expansion port for hard drive space. Especially if everything is to be downloaded. And the heating issue as it's so small.
The controller does look amazing and the fact that it's the same size as a Rubik's cube with a quad-core processor

Even if it isn't just android games, I just don't see why a developer would make a game for it.
However if it can do emulators, and you could play goldeneye mutliplayer, how aweseome would that be ? -

Re: the new Ouya console soon to be released - pointless ?Considering it's planned to be quad-core, seems like they are going into graphic intense games. Even looking at some videos, developers would be convinced to do so, as it's a cheaper platform for customers therefore more potential to make money from a large market.(Original post by democracyforum)

Re: the new Ouya console soon to be released - pointless ?It will have basically ps2 graphics at best, which is good for a cheap and simple console.(Original post by Iqbal007)

But I just fon't feel the market is big enough just to play indie games on one console, when you can also play mini games and indie games on the main consoles too ! -

Main consoles are dying to be fair, loads of my mates are moving into PC gaming
