You are glossing over the main point of the article; they don't have any games. A gaming platform is only as good as its games.

  Of course they don't have games - it isn't made yet.

    Has anyone ever released a console without at least a few games in the pipe? It never turns out well when there are very few games, but 9 months from release they don't have any games.

      I can't think of any successful games console that didn't launch with at least one exclusive "killer app".

  But the main point of the article is silly. Why would they have any games at this point? The Kickstarter fundraising campaign just got under way.
  • jiggy2011 14y ago
    I think they should really have already got something cast iron in the pipeline from some reasonable sized developers (mojang for example) before they launched the kickstarter.

  The iPhone didn't have any games either until the actual iPhone SDK was released, which was much later then the iPhone itself was released.

    The difference is that the iPhone is a phone, not a gaming platform.
    • Kronopath 14y ago
      Exactly. People who buy the iPhone do not do so primarily for games. People who buy the Ouya do.

    > which was much later then the iPhone itself was released. Right there is part of your answer. Apple already had a large user base and a great demand for third party apps, both from users and developers. OYUA has none of that.
