Will Ouya Mean The End Of The Xbox?

You’ve heard of Nintendo Wii, the Xbox and PlayStation… but now there’s a new guy in town. The big three have dominated the market for quite some time, but the Ouya is a new and, more importantly, cheap games console running on the Android operating system.

Gamers and tech fans have been eagerly awaiting its release since raising millions of pounds on Kickstarter – thrashing the original $950,000 target.

Features

The Ouya will feature a Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor, 8GB internal storage, 1GB RAM and will also have various connectivity options, including WiFi, Bluetooth, HDMI and USB.

Do you think that the £99 Ouya could knock the Xbox and other game giants off the top spot? Would you consider buying one?

Where to get one

If you've only just heard about the revolutionary Ouya and weren't one of the original backers on the Kickstarter, you'll be pleased to hear that the console will be shipped to retailers in the UK, including Amazon and GAME from the first week of June.

Benefits

• Try before you buy on games
• Cheap hardware (console & controllers)
• Great for developers
• Over 100 titles available upon launch, including Final Fantasy III and Pinball Arcade
• Recognisable UI (Android 4.0)

The Ouya is a completely new way to game. If you like what you see on your phone, but wish it could work on the big screen, it's probably perfect for you. However, I doubt we will see the immense graphics of the Xbox or PlayStation any time soon.
