Forums - Gaming - Ouya CEO: 27 percent of Ouya owners have bought a game

Thus far, it doesn't seem that Ouya developers have been raking in the money, with only a few developers reporting sales in the thousands of dollars. Ouya CEO Julie Uhrman defended the console, telling The Verge that sales have been "better than expected" and adding that it's "too early" to judge the platform's success.

Regardless of the money being earned, a full 27 percent of Ouya owners have purchased a game, she said. Furthermore, 13 of the top 20 Ouya games have earned an 8 percent conversion rate, a number she said many developers would "kill for" on such a young platform. She predicted that by the end of 2013, "we'll see a few developers telling us they've made more than a million dollars on Ouya."

So what do you think ? Should it even be called a game console if not even 1/3 use it as a gaming machine ?

That sounds just awful. What are the other people using it for?

What's the advantage of Ouya rather then just hooking up your computer to play emulated games and more?

Why do you need Ouya for emulated games.....

Smaller, cheaper, comes with a controller. That's all I can think of. With that kind of attach rate, that's exactly what it's being used for. I have a laptop+PS3 controller if I need that.

This is exactly what I use as well.  I guess it's good for those on a small budget.  I just thought there maybe be something more that I might've missed.
