Manufacturer of gaming accessories Razer buys manufacturer of consoles Ouya

In 2012, the developer of the game console for Android, Ouya collected more than $ 8 million on Kickstarter . The company plans to port games to its console created for mobile devices with Android OS. The initial price of the console was $ 99. However, it hasn’t been raised until today, as sales went badly and the initiative as a whole was not crowned with success.

Ouya initially failed to fit into the Google ecosystem. Therefore, the user had to separately pay Ouya for a game already purchased on the Google Play Store.

Earlier there were rumors that Ouya is looking for buyers. Yesterday it became known that the company was acquired by the manufacturer of gaming peripherals Razer . So far, the company has not made official statements. Details of the transaction were not disclosed, but experts suggest that Razer will not be engaged in finalizing the Ouya game console.

Razer manufactures gaming keyboards, computer mice and other accessories for gamers. The company recently released a game console for Android TV for $ 99. Android TV is part of the Google ecosystem, so you can select games for the console from the Play Store directly.

Apparently, Razer buys not so much Ouya, as its patents and technologies, reports ExtremeTech.
