There's a defined standard design that all portables should look like?
- It looks bad, and I mean bad - it goes againts what a portable should look like
With a $1000 price tag, they might as well not release Fiona at all - it won't sell. People cried their eyes out when the PS3 was priced $599, and that was before the recession. I doubt that the tablet will even be released, which is a shame because it IS cool.competition for project fiona.
The defined standard for portable devices to me is "I can put it in my pocket" - you can't put this in your pocket, even the PSVita is stretching it. When your portable requires you to get a carrying bag for it, you just know it's not very portable.There's a defined standard design that all portables should look like?
By the time Ouya is released, the average tablet or smartphone will "beat it", and I can already pair controllers with those - some I can even connect to a TV via HDMI - there's no "need" for an Ouya, as "cool" as it is Infrastructure-wise.
Exclusives on an Android-based device = gon git hacked tomorrow and ported for smartphones. Seriously. It's an open-source system.

I can see it as a low-cost Android gaming device, yes... but that market is already dominated by Chinese knock-off products. In my opinion, the Ouya should've been an infrastructure for games, not a console - it should've been made compatible with Android devices of all-sorts and should provide an alternative for the Google Play store and the PlayStation Store (For PSCertified) with exclusive titles and organised multiplayer - the first is always welcome, even if hackable, the second is a glaring issue of Android as an open-source system. Think of it as "Steam for Android"... But I digress.Honestly, while I'm defending the Ouya a bit, it kind of hard to justify it's existence.
Maybe for the really cheap gamers.

Bah! Feeble small-pockets clothing! You need to change from those Poortendo pants and get some big boy trousers.I can't put the DS in my pocket.
Consoles should be able to fit into little boy trouser pockets.Bah! Feeble small-pockets clothing! You need to change from those Poortendo pants and get some big boy trousers.
Too late, it's been asked already.I will sell my soul to get one of these! tihs should be awesome for emulation.
can't wait to see people asking if it will emulate N64...
From what I'm reading, it's quad Cortex A15 running at 1,9Ghz, one low-power core for basic tasks and 72 GPU Cores - it is pretty damn impressive indeed and does blow the previous generation out of the water, but I'm concerned about the costs it entails. We may have to wait until it becomes mainstream.Tegra 4 will emulate N64 for breakfast. Think deep, like DC emulation. Lol
The CPU chipset is much more powerful than Vita's.
Because NVidia designs chips, not devices, and should focus on what they do best, really.I like the idea, but why does it look like a smartphone with a chunky controller tacked onto it?
True that. But I might be really interested in this device if it wasn't designed so badly.Because NVidia designs chips, not devices, and should focus on what they do best, really.
