I will be suprised if it gets anywhere at all.

I'm not sure. I think it has a chance at being niche since the starting price is $100. I say it's money wasted on it, but some do see values in using it for roms and stuff. It could resonate somewhat with them, carving out a nice little niche.

The $100 price point is good as are the roms (I really like the rom part), but there has just been no advertising for the Ouya or major pushes to get its name out there.

I thought the ouya had decent, maybe not good, but decent advertising. The kickstart itself was kind of serving as the advertising. Ouya will also be at e3, well not in e3, more like the parking lot across the street xD

where is the "laughing so hysterically i cant even vote" option in the poll?

No. Reception the Ouya has been horrible. It's unlikely to ever take off and go mainstream.

What, are you making fun of the ouya and its mobile games! It can run sub-hd graphics of some extremely old games and maybe even angry birds dammit. Have some respect will you!

I hope it gets some good coverage at E3 I would like to learn more about it, but I have a feeling it will be vastly over shadowed by the PS4 and Xbox one.

Ya, even if there is news, it will be drowned out completely. Still if you look, you will prob see some info around e3.

well i for one plan on getting one. the idea of it is what draws me in, but considerinng i have Wiiu,PS4,Vita, and 3DS to purchase, it's going to be hard to see value in owning all 5 platforms so one has to go.

PS4 is the only 1 of the five that's a sure bet for purchase.

I would originally say that it had a good chance of appealing to a decent crowd, until I heard that the processing capabilities was pretty average when compared to smartphones (I believe that there was a fair number of smartphones with a faster processing capabilities out already).

If it's cheap, I still might get one, but only to tinker with programming on, otherwise, I can't see it taking off anymore.
