Ouya - a new gaming console on Android

Now mobile devices are becoming increasingly popular as a gaming platform. According to some data, mobile devices, smartphones and tablets are already more popular among gamers (not hardcore, of course) than traditional game consoles and ordinary PCs. It is clear that manufacturers can not miss such a chance to occupy a new niche.

For example, Ouya decided to occupy an intermediate niche, which is located between mobile gaming, and game consoles. This company is going to provide the opportunity to play mobile toys for game console lovers. Recently, this company introduced a miniature console based on Android, which allows you to play games designed for mobile devices on TV. It turns out a full-fledged video game.

In addition, a developer kit is supplied with the device, for those who like to delve into the device software. As for Ouya, this game console boasts a quad-core Tegra 3 processor, 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of user-accessible memory.

In addition, there are all the necessary wireless communication modules, including Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n, Bluetooth LE 4.0 Plus HDMI out, one USB 2.0 port (3.0 is not, unfortunately). The operating system uses Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The kit includes a wireless gaming controller with two analog sticks, a D-pad, eight active buttons and a touchpad in the center (for games that require touch controls).

So far, the console exists only in the form of a couple of prototypes. To start mass production, you need to collect 950 thousand dollars on Kickstarter (330 thousand of this amount has already been collected). The cost of the console, subject to its appearance on the market - $ 99. It can appear in the first quarter of 2013.
