    Im for it and Im backing it to get a console at launch . It will really be about the games and take a look at how the indie game movement is really booming right now with Unity 3D and the Unreal Development Kit in the forefront . Both already build to Android devices and if you have been messing with either tools, you know that the input handling makes it pretty nice to go from Joystick to Keyboard , to touch screen input with out a big head ache of remapping or recoding . A huge plus IMO for indie developers

    So like always it will be about the games, look at iPad, sure there was nothing to compare it too, but what if Apple had no App Store , would the iPad been as successful with just the few built in apps it came with? Probably not , but it was when they opened the door to any geek with a computer and the time to put something together that really made the iPad what it is.

    However I am trying to figure out who the OUYA appeals to the most , so far mainly hackers/developer types who see potential for their projects. The casual gamer or even the Hardcore gamer might not be enticed to get one just to play Angry Birds on the TV . On the other hand with PS4 and Xbox 720 on the horizon , I am sure the $99 price tag on the OUYA will appeal to some come Xmas 2013 vs the next gen systems at prob $399
