The project of the game console in less than 2 days collected $ 3 million on Kickstarter

The Kickstarter campaign launched yesterday to raise $ 950,000 in 30 days to release the game console Ouya collected the required amount in just 8 hours. Already, the project has attracted more than $ 3 million and is interested in its investors, what to do with the extra money.

If anyone does not know, Kickstarter is a site for funding creative projects under a crowdfunding scheme. Anyone who wants to receive funding must register and place a project description, and those interested in the project can help him with at least $ 1, at least tens of thousands (depending on the donated amount, you can pre-order the future product at its expense and receive additional bonuses).

So far, the most successful project is the Pebble electronic watch, which collected a total of 10 million dollars. However, the console Ouya , which attracted three times more than the required amount in less than two days, there is every chance to press it.

Having collected 2 million dollars in almost a day, the creators of the project are now asking two tens of thousands of their contributors what to do with the extra money - they also counted on only 950 thousand. The comments are now actively discussing how to supplement the original draft, and there are so many proposals that some ask to arrange a vote.

As already told yesterday on Habré, the Ouya project is a gaming console on Android , which will cost $ 99.

Ouya will have a quad-core Tegra 3 processor , 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of flash memory, an HDMI connection to support 1080p HD displays, WiFi 802.11b / g / n , Bluetooth LE 4.0 , one USB port, a wireless controller and a touchpad.

The devices will create their own game store in which all games can be downloaded and tried for free, and the further monetization scheme depends on the developers. The authors of the project say that it will be easy to get root access to the console and this will not violate the warranty.
