I feel like most games on my phone are not the kind of games I would want to play on a TV. Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja and so on are mobile games. With a open hardware/open source gaming platform for TV games we could get past Sony and Microsoft dominating the market.
I can't connect my phone to a TV as far as I know (SGS2), it might be possible but honestly I have not researched it because it's not something I would be interested in.
A open console with a good controller that is easy for independent developers and others to get into would be great.
- eropple 14y agoYour SGS2 can plug into a TV with an HDMI adapter. Your SGS2 (if running 3.0+) can also support a Bluetooth controller. Your SGS2 is a little pokey compared to a Tegra 3, but there's just not that much difference between a HTC One and this console. The optimism is nice and all, but the console is nothing special and it has a laughably small userbase. Even XBLIG is a better bet than this, and XBLIG is terrible. There's no way Ouya, or any other "open source gaming platform", is going to disrupt, or even come on the radar of, Sony and Microsoft's game groups. You're in "year of the Linux desktop" territory, and it's important to realize when you're doing that and stop wishcasting.
