News From The Ouya Team
Posted Sep 30, 2012 at 4:30PM EST by Tom

Ó

A little bit of news has trickled down form Ouya “everyone’s favorite Android console”.  It seems they have gotten themselves a new chairman and a few other things to let us in on. CEO Julie Uhrman announced that Roy Bahat will be the new Chairman.  Prior to coming over to join the Ouya team Bahat was the President of IGN Entertainment for five years. Uhrman also stated that Steve Chamberlin would be leading Ouya’s engineering division and that Raffi Bagdasarian would now be in charge of Ouya’s software operations.

Chamberlin was the Senior Development Director for Trion Worlds and Bagdasarian has spent over five years (of his life he will never get back) working with Sony on their Crackle service.  Already we can see that Ouya is starting to step up and preparing to become a contender in the console market and why shouldn't they? Uhrman also mentioned that “over a thousand” developers have contacted  Ouya since its Kickstarter campaign ended in August.  Also, over 50 distributors have applied to carry Ouya when it launches.  Let’s just hope that some big retail stores are among those who want to be in on day one so we can all get a chance to join the revolution.

I'm still not getting what this has over a PC with a controller plugged into it.

I don't get it either, it's actually a downgrade for anyone that owns a PC :sigh:

If anyone disagrees then please reply instead of just phantom downvoting.

because its a console and not a PC, its more easy to use for the average user and dont need to mess with components and certain configuration for some games and they can run new games playing exactly as other ouya users

also the problem with the word "PC" is that it dont really tells you about the games that it can run, you need a PC with a certain configuration to run games not just a PC

The only thing this little unit offers over PC is:

1. Instant on.
2. Dummy friendly UI.
3. Games will be built specifically for it.
4. It's cheap.

Once they release upgraded units even #3 wont matter any more.

All in all, this unit is very underpowered. At best the users for it will get top notch tablet games. It's nothing but a casual gamers little dream.

The Ouya has an open operating system designed to run games. Windows is designed for business first gaming second. Macs are designed mainly for business.

Its nothing ground breaking but I'm sure it'll live up to its reputation. Especially since a lot of company's are looking into streaming and cloud gaming, u won't need fancy hardware to play the games we know and love. If anything it could always be used to play your emulators on your TV. And for what its priced out at, u can't go wrong
