@TomHunt & SolarLune - see the entire thread for my earlier replies to similar thoughts as you expressed (most of what you said this thread has already covered a dozen times)

I thought Square/Enix was doing something. Not sure if it's exclusive, tho.

EDIT: FF3 as a launch title, apparently.

Seeing as it's the FF3 version that's already on Nintendo DS, WiiWare, iOS and Android (and PSP, I think?), it's definitely not exclusive.

it's still just an android that attaches to a tv (and offers no advantage over attaching your actual android to your tv and plugging in a joystick)
- A Nexus 7 costs $250. An Ouya will cost $99 + maybe $30-$90 for extra controllers - which you'd have to get anyway for console-style gaming on a tablet, plus having to deal with a driver app on quasi-standard hardware. The Ouya is the more accessible option here for all but the most hardcore of consumers.
You don't need a 3G/4G data plan if you use your 200$ Nexus at home, considering it has WiFi connectivity and any decent ISP gives you a wireless router when you sign them. Ouya isn't accessible by any means, period.

Actually, I believe it will prove to be a very expensive contraption, but I don't have any interest in it and won't wave any flags against it.

yep, most smartphones work with local wifi, no? plus you don't need to buy the most expensive android phone or anything -- buy a used one on ebay or craigslist for $50 or something. you can play android games on your tv for a lot cheaper than a $99 ouya

nothing says "brilliant business sense" to me like someone releasing a game as exclusive on an unproven console created by a company that has zero experience, zero corporate backing, and  virtually no finances.

"What's unique about Ouya is the business model, the fact that every single game is free to try, that it's open for every single creator, the fact that we're bringing games back to the television. But most importantly, we will win if we're able to develop a great relationship with developers and gamers where the best, newest, and most creative games are on Ouya."

isn't every game on XBLA free to try? isn't there required demos? and isn't xblig pretty open as well? at least in comparison to the other consoles.

That's the problem here, the end consumer is the dev, but the dev has no end consumer, they never talk about this one.

Exclusives sell platforms. You'd have to be crazy to do an exclusive without a big dumptruck full of money unloading at your front door, or a suitable equivalent. My understanding is that is exactly how this happens anyway- the platform owner gives some juicy incentive to a developer to lock a game to a platform.

The big exception of course would be if you were writing an app/game that took advantage of some unique feature of a platform that didn't map well to other platforms. Think Wiimote.

It also eliminates the long-running assumption that only top-flight, well-funded studios are able to make quality console games and should thus be the only ones given top-priority access to the market.

I think this is one reason why a number of people are excited about it. Even if the Ouya isn't the platform that ultimately makes the biggest splash in this space, I'm glad that there is interest in moving things in that direction.

yeah but who buys xblig. and xbla is harder to get on to. the whole ouya process is "free" for both sides: devs + consumers. that's the whole deal, I believe.

the fact that we're bringing games back to the television.

...What?

They're referring to the move to mobile, browser. F2P on the PC maybe? I don't know. The statement sounds a little strange to me too. Flash portals get a whole lot of players. Facebook games etc.

Yeah, I did some thinking on it, and I think it may be aimed at phone and tablet gaming.

Supposingly the OUYA's low price is attractive.
However, by the time the OUYA is gonna be out and ready for the public, it will be way lagging behind compared to current cost effective value smart phone.

Not to mention that the Tegra 3 is not exceptional in it's graphics capabilities. So you end up with mostly static\pre baked 3D games on a big screen. This isn't going to look pretty.

I would think that someone who can afford an HD TV will prefer to invest a bit more money in a console that actually... lasts. Like the PS4.
The PS4 hardware and direct access to the GPU(passing DX\OpenGL like APIs) ensure that it will stay relevant and compete with desktop gaming for at least a couple of years.
The OUYA won't even compete with my cell phone a year from now.

Edit: Also, I heard PSP Vita is pretty awesome.
