Does the Ouya Have a Chance?

STP: Free-to-play games were all over the news earlier this week with the announcement of the Kickstarter for the open Ouya game console (please honor the memory of Mr. Randy Savage when pronouncing the machine’s name by really putting oomph into it–OOH-yeaaah!”). According to its handlers, the Ouya is an Android-based console that encourages devs to make and distribute homebrew games. It’s cheap, and it’s built on a wonderful concept, but I’m wary of it.
