Quality over quantity, anyone? Ouya will be dead on arrival. We've seen this before. N-Gage? Gizmondo? WonderSwan? NeoGeo? Philips CDi? Jaguar?

C'mon. Don't insult your own intelligence and pretend like Ouya has a chance at being successful. The Big 3 have a complete monopoly on console games, and there's no sensible reason for any publisher to put anything more than token support on such a historically-impossible market to break into.


The NeoGeo was the best console of its time.  It was just much too expensive.

HA!  Depends on how you define "best", I suppose...

Best graphics, most powerful specs.

For those of us who were actually alive and old enough to play video games at the time, NEO GEO was the console that all of us wanted, but couldn't afford.

You're talking about horsepower.  "Best" doesn't necessarily equate only to graphical sophistication.  For instance, what use does a high-spec machine like the Vita have if there is so little software support?  High-spec devices are merely expensive paper-weights without solid software support to back it up.  Software sells hardware, not the other way around.

When speaking of the "best machine" on the market, it is more typical to be describing the amount of high-quality software available for the system that all other consoles pale in comparison to.  Graphical superiority has never helped a system become a market leader.  In fact, most of the time, lower-spec machines with more attractive software attract the most market share.



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.
