What on Earth happened to Ouya ?
Seriously , I mean it's just kinda ... disappeared . Does anyone own one ? Is it good ?
I think it's a unanimous decision it's kinda dead though ?

All the hype built up around it died down, so it dropped out of the public eye. But the console has been plodding along. The company has issued updates regularly and a closed beta for external storage support was opened recently. There's been some controversy with the Free The Games fund, but they've continued it with some changes in response to the community. Seems like the typical story for something described as "indie", except that it generated a lot of hype.

3 RepliesIt died almost before it launched. Why would I pay for a box that plays android games on my tv? I do have a smart phone. I play Android games when I'm on the shitter. When I am otherwise at home, I fire up the Xbox for some real games.

1 ReplyEdited by halo: 10/15/2013 3:11:38 PMNothing like the Ouya would ever work. Nobody wants to buy a console to play games of that quality. When smart phones can run those games, why play it on a console? It's funny how many people on here are in hiding because they don't want to admit they wasted their money on something they thought was going to be amazing.

2 RepliesIt flopped hard. A bunch of indie devs that made exclusive games for them were even openly saying that they wern't sure if they time and money they spent developing their games were even worth it. Especially since sales didn't even reach a quarter of what they were projected to and they'll have to make PC ports in the hopes that they'll at least breaking even.

It was the first shot towards android gaming consoles but like every first step it needs a good one and it didn't work as we'll as planned
-
It failed
-
It's funny. The people who bought into it were praising it as the NEXT BIG THING in gaming. Turned out to be a $100 box for playing crappy ports of smartphone games and a cheap way to run XMBC.

It was dead as soon as it was announced. It was an extremely pointless console. The games you can play on it either can be played on your smartphone, iPod, tablet or computer. Pretty much everybody has at least one of those devices. The other thing that killed it is what it is. I don't think you're going to get that many people buying it when they might have a console or gaming computer. Why would I want to buy a system that plays Android based games when I have one that plays GTA 5 or a computer that has Skyrim which I can mod to make my own game out of it? Now it's nothing more than a system you hear being brought up online like this thread. It's pretty much that system where it's [i]"I know a guy who knows a guy that has the Ouya." [/i]

*Remembers saying it was shit and pretty much useless months before it came out.* *Remembers there was one guy on The Flood saying it wasn't going to flop.* Essentially it flopped and as a result people stopped talking about it.

It's pretty cool, I'm still playing it almost daily [spoiler]Oh who am I kidding[/spoiler]
-
it arrived dead on launch....... seriously people what did you expect from such thing.

They were hoping that indie devs would take advantage of androids open sauceness and start developing living room games for it... noone developed anything for it. Now the ouya devs realised this i think and are heavily pushing for indie devs by offering money to produce their games.
-
It had a bad controller.
-
The project was doomed from the start, but they also happened to release it at the worst time possible (Xbone fiasco) so that nobody even heard about it.
-
2 RepliesDude, we have them in stock at the Target I work at. I was like "WTF, these still exist? And we're selling them??"
-
Didn't have the best first impressions, but I did see a few Youtubers saying it was pretty fun and decent.

1 ReplyEdited by The Infected: 10/15/2013 4:44:32 AMDid it already come out? Ha ha wow!
-
It didn't take a business genius to see that flop coming.
-
Omni-Tool Casual Gaming took over that's what.
-
It recessed to the slime of the industry in which it spawned.
-
It failed and it had ZERO potential
-
It died. Android's okay thanks to its smartphones though
-
It failed. The first wave of Ouya was disappointing, with multiple problems that shouldn't have been there. Given that it's an Indie console, that probably killed it off.
-
I haven't noticed it's disappearance, but that's mostly because my friend, who owns one, basically worships the damn thing.
