Except the steam box isn’t all its cracked up to be and is running Linux which a lot of developers are still apprehensive on

Neither of those controllers have a touch pad on them

Microsoft isn’t that petty though (keep in mind, this isn’t an apple product!) and this controller has enough modifications and custom tweaks to it that it *hopefully* shouldn’t step on too many toes.

They could of saved money and just Paired it with an Xbox and/or Playstation controllers, after all they have each had over ten years of controller experience.
We even use xbox controllers on the robots we use in Afghanistan for detecting IED’s. $50 k robot and they paired it with an xbox controller because they new we would all have experience already using them.

Hard core gamers play on the PC.

But I see your point.

As much as I am a fan of Android, I think Valve is in a much better position to do just about everything that OUYA aims to do, only better. Better/more console-friendly games, well established community, open platform for developers, more hardware choices. I just don’t see what Android has to offer to console gaming that isn’t better served by Valve/Steam/The Big Picture

It isn’t necessarily a set thing though…They could probably switch in a Tegra 4 without much trouble if it’s out by the time they release it to the public.

Microsoft is gonna sue them. This looks way too similar to an Xbox 360 controller.

Its open. I can side load anything I want. I don’t even need the market if I so choose.

Android is what’s powering the system. This will bring better games, you can’t judge it on the few hardcore games Android currently has. Developers hate the money and policies Sony and MS force on them for PSN and XBLA.

Because if Ouya is a market failure and the company doesn’t survive, your new console will be unsupported and left for dead within a year? That’s the first thing that comes to mind.

Why does it matter if ouya the company makes money? Why can’t people just enjoy an alternative?

But is that segment enough to make Ouya a viable product and business model? My money is on no.

I thought about it, but by release time Tegra 3 simply isn’t going to cut it.

However you’re forgetting this system is for those hardcore gamers who want to MAKE games or want to tweak games and when those games are released from within the same community, people will go for them. It’ll be an endless amount of new games that people won’t need to pay $60 for.
