It's a $99 Android console for playing games that cost under $10. Some of you seem to be under the impression, judging by your disparaging comments, that this is supposed to be a PS4 competitor.

I hate OUYA fans they are so ignorant. There is nothing unique about this device and it actually does less than what an Android smartphone can do. I can use my Note 2 essentially as a computer, a console, and a phone that is highly portable.

OUYA has no solution for redundancy of games, the very basis of its existence. If you purchase a game on your phone and play it you have both a monetary obligation but also a gameplay or time obligation. If you want to play Angry X on your phone and then take it home to the OUYA you will have to purchase two versions. Then you will also have to play both versions and will not be able to transfer the gameplay on one device onto the other device. The idea that users want to waste excess time on mediocre mobile games makes no sense.

OUYA is essentially creating a cognitive dissonance amongst consumers as to what version to purchase and play and is doing so in an attempt to capture sales on their own third party appstore. OUYA is sidestepping Google in order to obtain a higher profit margin on the sale of applications.

Once steambox or other alternatives hit the market and people are able to have moderately powerful computing devices & media centers wrapped into one in their livingroom, OUYA will go bankrupt very rapidly.

The only thing OUYA has going for it is being a platform for Indie developers? How is developing for Google Play any different than OUYA? It isn't and it is actually worse since you have to buy their device and their peripherals. On regular Android you can already build games with support for BT peripherals(controllers, keyboards, etc) and make great games. GTA3 has PS3 controller support built into it and it works great.

Still have not heard a valid reason to be pro-OUYA.
