[QUOTE="Pete, post: 50206, member: 862"] years ago I bought a gp2x, it was a handheld device that played emulators and homebrew and it had a very awesome community of people making original games for it. I used to tinker around with making stuff for it and I loved talking to other programmers about what can be done and how to improve things. Those were really fun times and it seemed there was always something fresh to check out. Then a bunch of years went by and the gp2x community faded out. Ouya seems like the closest thing to getting those awesome independent programming times rolling again. And although the ouya appeals to a certain niche of people, I love that niche of people. It's not a system for hardcore gamers it's a system for independent programmers and tech nerds to show off what they can make and have fun doing it. and that's why the Ouya kicks ass. Your not going to see an unknown person's home made games on xbox live or PSN. it cost way to much money to port your games on those and you have to buy super expensive software from Microsoft or sony to even consider it. Sure you can do the xbox independent section... if you completely code it with their software to meet the requirement to do so. NONE of the other android systems being announced are about this, they will just have the normal google play store and nothing else. When it comes right down to it Ouya is providing a place for us home programmers to share our art with kindred spirits. No other console is giving you that. So I say I don't care if the ouya sells only a half a million systems vs the multiple 10's of millions the other consoles sell, it's going to be fun good times for that niche of programmers and the community it's already started.
