PS mobile dev kits are free and they will be on a home console, most likely PS4 but there is an effort towards PS3. Sony could beat this to market. Though OUYA has some decent specs that will top PS Mobile, being only an Android console means it won't have the high end games we will see next gen while the PS4 will have that and an open mobile development space. PS already has an install base. OUYA is making it seem like they are one of a kind when they are not, pinning themselves against a closed console market slightly demonized. Very unique and aside from Sony, no one has brought mobile development platforms to a home console yet.


Completely wrong.

1) By the time PS4 launches late 2013 Android and iOS will be playing the exact same console games due to their rapid increase in hardware specs.

2) Additionally OnLive streams all the same games and is available on either platform.

3) Android products can already sync with any bluetooth controller, so the TV connected products will offer the same 3rd party environment as any console.

I put this all in my other threads throughout this year and I think the response this kickstarter got proves there is interest.

Side note... Androids install base is bigger than PS... maybe not game specific, but that's arguable and likely to shift by next year.

1) That's hilarious. That isn't even close to being true. (if necessary i can go into detail, a simple statement should suffice though.) Not at all, despite the rapid improvement in graphics .. The game loses quality elsewhere. The integrated Tegra chips /Snapdragons can provide quite great graphics, but it lacks all the special effects necessary. A AMD 7xxx series or a Nvidia 6xx series blows a mobile chip anyday.

2) Incorrect. Onlive will not have console exclusives. Furthermore, onlive already struggles to do 720 P. Until internet hosts begin integrating faster connections, and Onlive upgrades their servers, consoles still deliver the better expierence. (Not to mention you need a subscription to onlive or buy games from it..)

3) Not entirely sure what the point is for number 3, so i'll wait to see what you mean exactly.
