Isn't Tegra 3 a little hopeless for a Game console?
and why using a low consumption chip on a Console?

It's not necessarily built for ultra high performance, it's not meant to compete with the 360 or PS3, it's to have a $99 console that still delivers decent performance.

its for android games so it should be fine, but hopefully it'll use a tegra 4 for the production model which has 6x the graphics of tegra 3 apparently

tegra 3 was the cheapest quad core from 2012, tegra 4 shouldn't be much different. And processing power/graphical performance would have to be of utmost priority for ouya. Tegra 4 would be ideal with tegra zone games

The difference in build quality between the initial design and actual product is just too big.
in the first there's aluminum and premium feel is overwhelming, actual product looks like toys and decidedly underwhelming.

They said in the video those weren't the final product materials that were going to be used... This is just sort of a prototype for devs to mess with, not the actual thing

This design..OMG.
It's revolutionary approach to a home entertainment device.
Nintendo Wii U looks like the least imaginative piece of plastic next to this

Because of smartphones and tablets, improvement in game graphics have basically stagnated. Neither the gameplay and story have improved any better than old era games. It seems raytracing and such will take decades to come to be implemented on games.

So wait, she said there are no games avaliable for the console as of yet, does this mean it isnt actually running proper android with the playstore or what???

I like the concept of outs but I feel like it needs a name change

in my opinion, i think its better to separate the cpu and gpu differently like pc but still, in a small package like this as smartphone technology nowadays is rapidly growing. using cpu and gpu exactly like a smartphone one will shorten the lifespan of ouya since it will be playing android games which adapted from android smartphone. games developers are constantly building games more graphic intense as new processor invented. therefore, i would suggest that it ouya should produced its own powerful processor (with arm based architechture) and a separate also powerful graphic processing units and also, user friendly motherboard so that it should extend the lifespan of it for 2-3 years (rather than 6 months like the rate of new technology for smartphones) and make it easier to change the hardware like a pc..
