Newcomer hopes to disrupt the console market with an open Android box

"I'm not alone in thinking the console industry has experienced a brain-drain in recent years."

That's Julie Uhrman, speaking to Gamasutra last week about her pet project, Ouya, a new bit of hardware introduced today on Kickstarter that hopes to disrupt the traditional television console business by offering a (mostly) open platform.

So DOA people were willing to support $950,000+ in less than 24 hours right? There is a vast market for this as people can now have games to the masses without the massive cost.

Lol, Android games.
Mobile games are only good for emulating older console games.
Thats it.

Now need I say more? Come on you have to admit that is funny as hell.

There's gonna be a lot of shit games made by idiots then. Good ones'll be like needles in haystacks.

I feel like this can get rid of the casual gamers from the PS3, Wii, & 360 so that way the casual gamers can have their own console.

Great games for Android and iOS is growing realy fast, this wil be a nice way to play some of those games on the tv. And it wil probably open up for alot of cool fetures when people start hacking it and adding new nice fetures.

This isnt likely marketing the core audience.. this is the casuals gaming machine.. Casuals that are happy playing phone games instead of handheld systems.. The casuals that ran out to buy a wii just for wii sports.. This can get alot of attention
