Was the Ouya a good console with good games?

[Dirty Hipsters]

It is a decent Android machine at $100. And then everyone flips out their $1000 phones/tablets and boasts how much better they are... yes you are paying 10x more, that should be clear.

I disagree with this statement.

I have one of the most powerful smartphones on the market right now, it's the Motorola Droid Turbo, and it has 3 gigs of ram and a 2.7 ghz quadcore processor.

I got this phone practically for free. Well that's not entirely true, I got the phone for $200 with an instant in-store $100 rebate and then a second $100 rebate from Motorola, which brought the price done to the $50 I had to pay for sales tax and activation.

Heard that one a million times before, but no one actually adds up the sub fees that are paying for the phones.

Yes, but you're going to have a phone anyway. You'll be paying those fees either way, just with a different phone. No one is saying to buy the phone instead of the Ouya console and use two phones, one specifically for gaming and the other as a phone. If you're going to have a phone either way and you also want an Ouya you're better off just spending the $100 that you would have paid for the Ouya on getting a better phone.

No idea how it failed with such a brilliant advert:

What.

Whhhaaaaat?!?

Seriously, who thought this would be a good advertisement!?!

"Let's insult the people that we are selling to!"

"Great idea. We should portray them as basement-dwelling, pantsless whiny spineless crybabies."

"That'll bring in the green!"

I mean, seriously,
WHAT.
THE.
HELL.

No. No no no no no hell naw. It was intended as a breakout for indie developers, but instead houses a few interesting concepts - but just that, concepts - and is instead swamped with bilge and shit no better than what you would find of XLIG, but with another three or four price tags' worth of regret.
