How Does the Crowd-Funded Ouya Game Console Compare?

Overall Potential

Some of the features found on the Ouya could do with a lot of improvement, while some show a lot of promise. The design of the console is perfect. It’s tiny and can easily fit in a backpack. However, no system can survive without killer, exclusive titles. Take a look at the Xbox 360 launch, which lacked titles during its first year on the market. Many said the console would fail. The Nintendo Wii U is going through a similar period right now, but has an amazing game lineup heading into 2014.

If the developers can create a unique experience that steals some of the limelight from established consoles, the Ouya could be the next household name in gaming. It already has some of the most popular apps found on other consoles such as Netflix and Hulu. Third-party support would only bolster its gaming lineup and make it a primetime player.

As of right now, curious gamers or aspiring developers might find the Ouya worth their time. Tell us your impressions of the Android console.
