...Ouya has already managed to raise almost three times its $950,000 pledge goal on Kickstarter, getting commitments for over $2.8 million from more than 22,000 backers in less than two full days.
The idea is to revolutionize console gaming as we know it. Ouya aims to be a $99 device consisting of an Nvidia Tegra 3 processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal flash storage, HDMI output, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB 2.0 port, wireless controller, and Android 4.0 running the show. What's more, the developers encourage rooting without worry that you'll void you're warranty.
"Have at it: It's easy to root (and rooting won't void your warranty)," Ouya's developers stated on their Kickstarter page. "Everything opens with standard screws. Hardware hackers can create their own peripherals, and connect via USB or Bluetooth. You want our hardware design? Let us know. We might just give it to you. Surprise us!"

What do you guys think? Pretty amazing the support they have received already. It's already up past $3 million now, two days later. I don't think this will produce massive, photorealistic games the likes of which we saw at E3, but I'm hoping it will flourish with smaller scale development. I love the focus they are putting into creating a great controller. Hopefully it will lead to an evolution and maturing in mobile game development. At the very least, it should be hacked into a very nice emulation, streaming, multimedia device of sorts.
