Webmuch: Android is now coming up with a new console. The console of Android is on the way of evolving as a technological advancement. It’s time for the users to experience a model that is new in current times. The reason for this new innovation is that, the company has always kept itself updated. The advice and feedback received from the developers and gamers have contributed a lot to it. This speech was given by Julie Uhrman, the CEO of OUYA at E3 conference.
From systems that could keep your beer cool, to oddities trying to get in on the popularity of VHS and laserdisc, you’ve got some very, very weird video game consoles out there.
I had the LaserActive... it was a nice collectors piece but not very practical. Especially when it came to needing recapping. I think i paid all of about $50 for the floor model from an incredible Universe back in the day. I ended up selling it many years later for $300 at the time due to it needing a new laser and the aforementioned recapping.
An honorable mention not on the list would be the VM Labs Nuon. It basically looked like any regular DVD player but it had ports on it for controllers to play specific games. one of which is still exclusive to it with Tempest 3000. It also offered nuon enhanced DVD movies with extra content not accessible by regular players.
Virtual Boy, Sega Nomad, Ouya and the other troubled game systems that nobody bought.
How has this article missed out Sega's Dreamcast and Nintendo's Wii U, two consoles that were actually superb devices in their own right, but were seen as failed due to lacklustre sales at the time of release?
Wonder how long before Stadia appears on the list surprised the Ngage is not on that list
Talk about a blast to the past.......I remember trying the virtual boy at Toy R Us and it was cool but I did feel slightly disoriented afterwards......good article.
The Ouya, a failed Android gaming console from early in this generation, is getting a second lease on life thanks to Internet archivists and some new software.
That's pretty cool they were able to bring it back. It sucks when something online only gets killed.
I got mine when it first launched, however it wasn't good for anything other than retro emulation. I couldn't sell the thing fast enough. Managed to get almost all my money back selling it on eBay.
I guess the Stadia launch is bringing back memories of other failed consoles/services.
An Android CONSOLE? Okay, wow. Wasn't expecting that. Whatever they come up with should be able to match the consoles in the market right now, and even the upcoming ones. I mean, I don't see how they'll develop something to match Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo's consoles.
the ouya has just really bad pricing its soooooo close to actual consoles like the ps3 or 360
*facepalm*
This will be my XBMC center soon :)
Its not a console, Its a smartphone/tablet without a screen.
I don't see why people are buying into this, you can't watch movies, play games, listen to music, read books on the go.
100$ more and you could do that, and then sync your ps3 controller to it and play all the same games, and use a HDMI out to play it on your TV if you want.
heck you can't even set it up to run touch games unless someone creates a very specific app only for it.
*for those who don't know its using a overclocked 1.7Ghz Tegra 3, which is in the Nexus 7 tablet*, the Tegra 4 devices start coming out this month, Tegra 3 is from 2011 and can't run many android based games maxed out anymore.
