Atari has a backlog of hundreds of games to ship with the Atari VCS whereas the Ouya had nothing really, at least not recognizable games. And the Atari VCS is a lot more powerful than the Ouya and can do a lot more. And also there is something about the look of a console that draws people. |
And all that considered, it draws a lot less people than the Ouya a few years ago.
More than 60.000 Ouyas were preordered/sold in the crowdfunding campaign... and it wasn't enough to get support or exclusives or hardware optimization of Android games and emulators.
If the Atari VCS campaign develops similar to most other crowdfunding campaigns, around 20.000 Atari VCS consoles will be preordered/sold in the crowdfunding campaign... do you think these numbers will be enough to get good support, exclusives or hardware optimization of PC games and emulators for than device?

Stupid and pathetic looking? There is much to complain about the Ouya, but the look of the little box ain't one of them IMHO.

So did the Ouya with 'the Stradivarius of controllers'... which turned out to be a disappointment. Microsoft put a lot of effort in developing the Xbox controllers, they aren't copied that easily, especially on a tight budget.
If I was going to order the Atari VCS, I probably would use it with an Xbox One controller or with a cheap but still great Xbox 360 controller.
