My humble opinion on the Ouya console ...

Hi for the fourth time today.Feels great having a blog,you know.It's like a canvas for all the thoughts that are being given birth up there in my brilliant head . 

So,the Ouya (pronounced like "ooya")...
 The strangely named Ouya is a recently announced video game console powered by Android 4.0 which will cost 99$ at launch.If you want to get more familiar with the details feel free to visit the console's Kickstarter page or watch the video below:

Just look at that controller!

Box design ?

  Now look,a cheap console,build essentially for free-to-play model based games,running on a highly customizable operating system? This kinda looks like the right console for low-budget gamers who are not shy to try their strengths at hardware modding.That is great! Assuming this thing sports a quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM and other great stuff like an ethernet port, built in wi-fi, bluetooth, 1080p HDMI connection, the Ouya could be quite the treat for modders to squeeze everything out of this device. I'm not talking about only games. It also boasts a solid potential to be used as a full-fledged media box of sorts, but with a ton of awesome free games on it .The controller, with its metallic finish also looks dope and positively futuristic and utopian. Though, I'm a little bit skeptical concerning the form factor of the console itself. I would really like to know whether the unique box-like form factor will offer some other commodities besides saving up some extra space in the living room.With all that being said, I'm almost sold !But..there's always the but in the end.One thing I can't get over.I'm 80% certain that when people will buy this thing (and they will),they'll expect an abundance of AAA game titles on it, that is for sure.And in my opinion, disappointed will be they. As far as I understand, not every huge dev will want to port his best selling title to an Android device. And not everyone will incorporate the infamous Free-to-play model to their game (I'm looking at you Call of Duty ). I might be mistaken, but time will show. For me personally, it's a safe bet that I'll end up buying this Ouya to satisfy my and my little brother's casual gaming needs. I already have an Xbox 360 so I'm not looking for another place to play my big budget titles. If you do, than Ouya isn't for you.
P.S: Another thing I wonder about.Will the internet services like multiplayer gaming be free of charge or not ?
