Ouya looking more and more appealing.

This will likely be the best time for it to enter the market. Large publishers have to shell out massive amounts of money to buy the SDK to produce the games for the mainstream consoles. Ultimately these large publishers will be demolished by smaller more nimble developers that are creating niche products.
The Ouya is open source. If you can WINE a PC game, Ouya could play it.

Incorrect. You can't run x86 programs on an ARM-based device so easily. WINE is just a compatibility layer, not an emulator.aelreth said:
Some people think mobile games are still like this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dl4q_Em0EQE], but nowadays they are more like this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXP9Rcr7OLQ].Nieroshai said:
Some people think that matters. My Vita does better, plays the same kind of things, and doesn't get much use. Casual "bus stop games" and AAA adventures and RPGs are not in the same category. Consoles do not have competition because mobiles aren't doing the same kind of thing. When cell phones get the next Elder Scrolls and sell even half the copies of a console release, you will have a point.Rodrigo Girao said:
So you have the additional choices of piracy or shitty freeware? Ummm..Remind me how this is a winner again?RT said:
The Ouya is interesting. I might, at some point, be interested in it.aba1 said:
I'm probably not picking up a release PS4, but I'll get one not too long thereafter. That purchase is happening. The Ouya will have to compete with a WiiU (and whatever Monolith Soft is making for it) for my second-rung purchases.
Now, if Monolith Soft puts X out on the Ouya, then sold. I'd rather have an Ouya than a WiiU, personally, (I'd rather support the risky startup than Stagnant Juggernaut) but I will follow Monolith Soft to the ends of the earth (and any console they program for) for more games.
It's the same question I ask myself when it comes to buying ANY console. The only reason to buy a console seems to be for the exclusives, which is a practice in itself I do not condone.Zhukov said:
Probably why I didn't buy a most recent generation console.
Yes, by all means, go tell Gameloft they should drop all their more ambitious titles and make only bus stop games.Nieroshai said:
So now your choices are shitty freeware or emulating shitty freeware. Seems redundant.RT said:
downloading is still piracy and still illegal in such circumstances.
EDIT: Let's be clear here. Fair Use doctrine doesn't afford you downloading stuff or making it available for others to download. One of the major tenets of the backup clause is it's your actions and your property. Currently, nothing else actually qualifies. You may try and moralise it, but it's still illegal. The average consumer does not have the capacity to back up their games legally, either.
So, while you are technically correct in saying emulation is not piracy, emulation, for all realistic intents and purposes of this line of thinking does require it.
You're trying for a "god of the gaps" argument, and the gaps are getting smaller.
Have yet to see anything appealing about this console so until they show some killer games I will remain unconvinced, really though it will have to do better than the games I can get on my android phone as they are for the most part piss poor if I am away long enough to have to mobile game to get my fix I play on the DS or PSP or if I had to go away recently for a prolonged period I would probably buy a Vita and / or 3DS as at least then I know I would be able to play a few satisfying games.
In my experience android games are pretty throw away its the difference between a pamphlet and a good book. If they do manage to pull their shit together than fair play I dont know hoe the tech stacks up though isnt it even worse than the PS3 and 360 which people are already whinging about holding things back.
