Game console Ouya went on sale for 99 dollars

In August 2012, the Ouya game console (for Android) collected $ 8.6 million of “investments” on Kickstarter (they generally collected the required $ 900 thousand in eight hours: it was already clear that we had an absolute sales hit). Everyone who transferred 95 dollars, claimed to receive this innovative gadget. Less than a year, as the developers have fulfilled the promise and started mass production.

From today, sales of Ouya consoles have begun on a number of partner sites, including Best Buy, GameStop, Target, GAME and Amazon. Cost corresponds to the promised: 99.99 dollars with one controller, additional controllers for $ 49.99.

In August 2012, the Ouya prefix became one of the Kickstarter hits, promising a convenient and cheap way to launch Android games on a large TV screen, with a convenient controller, and not on a poor smartphone / tablet screen.

The small cube 7 × 7 × 7 cm looks very nice and provides opportunities for hacking and modification, which is very much appreciated by advanced geeks. With a 4.7 GHz quad-core Tegra 3 processor, the cost of the device can be called quite low.

It is a great rarity when a team of young start-up entrepreneurs not only managed to collect such a huge amount of money - but also managed to fully keep the promise, to start mass production of devices and their sale all over the world. The main thing is that they managed to do this before the start of sales of the Playstation 4 and Xbox One, to get ahead of them was crucial for the success of the project. And while the customers complain about numerous software failures, this is still a success, but glitches can be fixed in the future.

Over the past year, 174 games have been ported to Ouya. More than 17 thousand independent developers have registered in the project.

PS On Amazon, the goods in the warehouse have already ended , on the GameStop too .

PPS Anyone who ordered goods on Kickstarter in July-August 2012, promise to send it in the near future.
