I'm one of the $99 backers. Ouya is a hundred times more open than the Xbox, PS, or Wii. You can root it without losing the warranty! You can try EVERY game before spending money! It's 100% open source!

Even if this never really takes off, it still makes for a good emulation box. A good Bluetooth controller costs so much that being able to get a console AND controller for $99 is a no-brainer.

Just backed it, and added a second controller (as it's always more fun to play with others.) Figure worse thing that happens, I've got a couple bluetooth controllers to use, and another gizmo for the hardware box of shame.

The problem is that it won’t even have 1/10th the power of the big consoles nor a game library that will draw in hard core gamers. In fact few gamers will. All games right now for android are designed for a small form factor, like tablets and phones. Those don’t generally scale well.

All the competition sells their hardware far below cost hoping to make a profit on software. It’s impossible for a hardware only company to compete against that.
