Well, yes, they're upgrades. Going from OUYA to OUYA2 will be like going from PS1 to PS2. Upgrades.As long as they're upgrades and not replacements I'll be fine.

So they want you to buy hardware on a yearly basis. They made a conscious decision to render your hardware obsolete after just one year. That's wrong. That's just so wrong.
This is what I thought the OUYA was doing: they were offering, if you wanted to pony up the case, new"er" hardware. That doesn't mean the previous version wouldn't be able to keep up with the games. It means there's an option for people who would like to have the very best they can as soon as it's available, and otherwise, they can keep the older hardware knowing that there's a chance it may have a performance hit on newer games.That's not an upgrade, that's a new console.
I was thinking upgrading like upgrading a computer, because then yearly upgrades would not only be acceptable but better than staying with the same hardware for an entire gen.
Steambox is maybe something you're thinking of? Yes it's possible if the console is made modular in the first place (like a PC if you will). If everything is soldered into place like modern laptops and phones, you're out of luck.it'd be nice if the hardware of the ouya could be switch like a catridge ... is it possible to do ?
An xbox 360 was $299 on launch day, and PS3 was $499. Both consoles expected to last 7-9 years. $700-900 for the same type of thing for Ouya in a span of 7-9 years? I'll go with the REAL console thank you!why is this bad? if sony and all companies change their consoles due to the changes of hardware and software technologies, why shouldn't OUYA?
and even if they want to update just for the sake of it, its not like your old consoles won't work. They still will play them but the newer games, that are coincidentally not OUYA's fault for being more power-hungry, will need a more powerful machine.
there is no where in that para which said 'We don't want to support customer but rather want money every year.'
I can do the exact same thing with my Asus Transformer Pad. All I needed was a Micro USB to HDMI cable (a few dollars), and a handheld bluetooth keyboard/touchpad for the convenience of not having to physically hold the tablet while setting things up (about $20).
That said, I suppose it is nice to have a version of Android that's more console-dedicated, in a way.
Ouya will have its own games, game support, be easier to move around and set up, do all that was mentioned, and save space under a $100 device (as you pointed out) aim at mostly gaming. It as well as indie catered.I can do that with my pc
Even if they support two versions of Ouya at a time. Soon or later they will make some games that can't be played on the old one.This is what I thought the OUYA was doing: they were offering, if you wanted to pony up the case, new"er" hardware.

I don't know--the xbox 360 skimmed by with out-of-date hardware for quite some time. So long as OUYA keeps up with its market of developers, setting its own benchmarks, the idea of an "outdated" version is a hard one to attain.Even if they support two versions of Ouya at a time.

How long do you think the 360 will be supported when the 720 comes? Wouldn't 720 games not be able to play on the 360 unless scale downed? Would they keep scaling down games when a new version of the hardware is out?I don't know--the xbox 360 skimmed by with out-of-date hardware for quite some time.

Thus, notice I said, and emphasized, OUYA's library. If its software is created in an enclosed environment, there's no need to worry about the hardware being unable to keep up. This is how each console generation survives: it artificially limits the hardware, and develops the software around such limitation. Though there are games which push the hardware at times, and lose performance, there is always a standard by which software is made, so as to always have marketability.How long do you think the 360 will be supported when the 720 comes?

I hope you know what I'm getting at.
You don't know or care to use Linux however you can't wait to receive your Android-powered OUYA, Android being a distribution of Linux.I can't understand all the hate on Ouya. For $100 I have a device that will run xbmc, emulators, games, and android apps on my TV. I guess I could use a raspberry pi for xbmc but I don't really know, nor care, to use linux. I can't wait to receive my Ouya.
With Exyonos 5 just around the corner? Naw. As for the controller, OUYA's controller < PS3's controller over Bluetooth.For $99, it may not be the best console, but it's likely to be the best television boxset at the price. Open-source, unlimited apps, XMBC, Netflix, Browser, emulators, and a controller. It'll definitely go good in my parents living room instead of buying an Apple TV.
Yes, yes, yesyesyes and YES. I will have to say this will be much better than Apple TV ever is, now I can only wish it had a TV tuner lol.For $99, it may not be the best console, but it's likely to be the best television boxset at the price.
