Is funny how things work out: patents which are meant to stave off copycats from profiting off someone else's work end up being snatched by patent trolls who sue anyone who does something even remotely similar even if they had no idea there

Same here in Argentina, the startup community is almost engineer-free ( almost , there are exceptions) but yeah it's kinda difficult to find engineers because most here don't want to work at a startup that might last less than a year, so th

I get the message but he shouldn't use "1999", lots of companies founded that year were doomed from the start, and even some good ones couldn't get enough funding after the industry collapsed. About the last paragraph he certainly means the

Why not play the game on the smartphone/tablet then? And you could get the same deal with XLIG and Smartglass

You were talking about casual gamers.

You would still need to adapt the game for the Ouya's controller which is not that simple. BTW there are some devs still making games for "dead" consoles since the manufacturer no longer cares and they wont get sued for not having a license

I said a game just for the Ouya , you know an exclusive like say Uncharted for the PS3, not necessarily a big AAA game, but a game that's only available on the Ouya.

Did you even bother to read jerf's original post? No, that new corner restaurant going in downtown probably isn't going to threaten Applebee's... but... so? And it doesn't needs to beat the X360 or any big consoles, but if it doesn't make

The Dreamcast went as low as $50 and even that didn't save it, price isn't everything when it comes to consoles. And casual gamers are already migrating away from consoles because they can play those social games on the smartphones and tabl

On the Dreamcast it was all software, not even a jailbreak, just some code on the pirated game. It left no traces, you could boot a legit disc and connect to SegaNet, try doing that with LIVE and not get banned. Right now pirating on a X360

At 100k no one will bother to make a game just for the Ouya, probably not even support the platform which means adding controller support to an existing game. Keep in mind some games sold 100k units and were deemed a failure, even good game

by JVIDEL 14y ago
You don't get the analogy do you? see Jerf's post: the restaurant was never meant to be like applebees, but is not going to stay open if they don't make any money, same as the Ouya: odds are it wont beat the X360, but if it doesn't make eno

Really? just 25-40k users for an entire console generation?

No console out there failed because it wasn't #1, it failed because it takes money to support hardware, lots of money, and the companies behind those consoles couldn't keep losing money and had to cancel it. The first Xbox lost about $4 bil

I really don't want to see the Ouya fail, but then again I didn't want the Dreamcast to fail either, and it did. SEGA was sort on cash back then, and because some hackers found a way to play pirated games without a hardware mod (the PSX nee

It's pokemans , the Q is silent Joke, about the lego engine what can I say? it's very cool but it pales in comparison to the bleak situation of engineers in other industries. It's like the old man in Primer said: You know what they do wit

You are thinking about the GP32, which I had and it was awesome and had a ton of community support.........until the PSP. Think that back then the only portable out there was the GBA which had awful specs compared to the GP32. There was lit

Indeed, specially since KS says they wont step in if things go south, meaning you'll have tens of thousands of backers pissed at both ouya and KS

Excellent comment, too bad I can only upvote once!

That's even worst: a casual's only reason to buy a console is to get the games that they cannot get on their phones and tablets Why buy additional hardware like the ouya if it's the same exact same experience?

I love the idea and I have talked about the possibility of an ARM-based console for the past 2 years, but the Ouya is one of those cases where the execution doesn't seems right. There's a lack of differentiation, it has no exclusives like b

Maybe he knows what he's talking about: Apple was doing great when he was in charge of products, and after Sculley fired him Spindler almost destroyed the company.

Oh man so that was causing it! My rig crashed all weekend because of this POS bug, I had to boot back to Windows to get anything done (oh cmd, I really didn't miss you at all you insufferable bitch...) Any fixes?

You know for a while it was kinda funny, but now I'm really starting to worry about RIM. Is like they are trying to commit company-wide suicide, it still has a big chunk of the market, it's not "done for" RIM still has a chance, but it seem

You can have a much nicer UX, better code and extra features But CL has both traffic and a well-known brand, investor money can't buy that. Any feature you add is useless when there's no content, and there's no content because nobody goes t

It says HP wouldn't invest in new factories to get the parts, not that it couldn't get them because of Apple.

We still know next to nothing about the nextgen, nothing has been said about it, who knows what he'll say once they show the nextBox and PS4?

I'm not saying he doesn't know what he's talking about, he just never liked consoles, he was always a PC guy and if he were truly "excited" about the nextgen that's like hearing Armstrong will quit riding bikes and be a F1 pilot.
