There are too many low-quality games. The OUYA needs a way to curate or organize/rank games to make it easier to find and play. The UI needs more polish
Particularly in terms of offering a handy download queue. 8GB of storage fills up very quickly and th

I have to admit, I expected much, much more from OUYA. I backed them to the tune of 2.5x the retail price, had my console delivered after it hit retail, and my Limited Edition username-etched controllers still haven't shipped yet. When a company makes mo...

The Ouya has huge potential for home developers who might not have the money to submit their games/ apps to Google Play or Apple as there is no fee to submit games to the Ouya store. I don't personally know how much it costs to develop an app for each of...
Sleek design, HDMI connection, Games are all "try before you buy", Fun tinkering potential
Laggy, low quality controller, Weak lineup of games, No Netflix or Amazon, Store interface is cluttered
Oh Ouya, how do you stack up? Your philosophy is so admirable, your price desirable, but what you actually deliver, well it isn't much. We liked At $99/£99 for a controller and system, the Ouya is priced to move. It's also attractive and demure, tiny and...

The Ouya works as an unfiltered indie game repository, and at $99, is a cheap investment. Its free-to-try model for games allows you to assay before you pay
The console has a cheap controller, unstable software, lacks compelling games, has a dearth of useful media apps, and low graphics performance
Despite its low price and free-to-try system, the Ouya fails to reach its potential as a disruptive alternative platform....
Abstract: br />Unpacking it, the actual OUYA console is tiny, but looks well made with all the ports on the back and a single power button on top. The pad surprised me – it's actually very comfortable to hold and use (although I had to google how to put the batter...

Abstract: When you open up the trendy, glossy and aesthetically designed packaging of the Ouya, you are greeted by the words "and so begins the revolution.” The initial feeling is one of class, and that you've picked up the future of gaming consoles. Unfortunately,...

Open-source approach, Everything's free to download and try, Small, lightweight and cute
Gamepad is cheap and nasty, Some good games, but most are awful, Store is messy and hides prices
Ouya shouldn't be thought of as an alternative to a console from Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft; the quality and breadth of games falls way short of the offerings on those machines. What it is, however, is an intriguing games console for those who want some...
Slick design and ease of use, Good range of indie games, All games are free to try, so you know you're not buying a stinker, Plex works a treat, Side-loading Android apps are available if you're inclined
No AAA games, No Play Store so you can't use previously bought games on Android, Side-loading Android Apps, Not quite there yet, Design, Design wise, the Ouya is understated but extremely stylish, No bigger than an apple, the Ouya's slick, brushed alumini
The Ouya - perhaps an accompaniment rather than replacement for an Xbox or PlayStation at the moment.The Ouya does what I want it to do, but it won't replace my current console. The games are gimmicky and the only thing keeping me coming back for more is...
Loads of modding and hacking potential, Open platform for homebrew developers, Decent basic hardware
Poorly made controller, Not enough quality games, Basic, feature-lite software interface
Ouya is still a curio rather than a prime-time ready games console. It has bundles of potential, but only ardent fans and hobbyists need apply right now....

Lots of potential, Future software updates might fix issues
Closed off software, Mediocre controller, Middling graphics performance
I wanted to like the Ouya. A £100 Android-based game system with a gamepad seems like a great idea. However, even though it's been released as a retail product, it's just not ready yet. It's held back by a mediocre controller and a software interface tha...
