OUYA following mobile model: 'There will be a new OUYA every year'

People saying this decision is going to kill Ouya aren't looking at the fact that iPad is doing just fine with a new version each year. It seems like some people are just anticipating having your ego's hurt by having to play with "outdated" hardware, just like people who can't even bring themselves to look at their disgusting, hideous, obsolete iPad 3.

And Apple is a large corporation that is known worldwide and also have a relatively large amount of diehard fans that purchase those yearly versions.  Ouya is a small ompany that only gamers who frequent gaming websites know about.  So, two very different things.  I think they would have fared better if they stuck with a 3 year plan, instead.  Now, people will wait a year or two for their HW to improve, which will decrease sales of the initial batch, which could lead to them going out of business before they even launch Ouya 2 or 3.

Fair enough, but by the same token the only people who know about Ouya 2,3etc are us gaming board readers, not the typical person.  When Ouya hits retail shelves I don't think it will be as huge a problem as people are suggesting.

"Ouya is a small ompany that only gamers who frequent gaming websites know about." Strangly enough I first heard about Ouya on a general news non-gaming website.
