dunno about the hardware, but the software is selling really, really, really low. double-digits in most cases.

granted, that's normal for android software.

I thought the whole point of OUYA is that you couldn't "buy" any software? It was all freeware? (Which I've been opposed to since they started saying it...)

Also, the hardware is tracked by the NPD, so you could always find out. If you wanted.

All games come with a free component of some kind [mostly just a demo], but you can still buy the games.

on the scale of things worth nagging my source for, Ouya sales rank somewhere just under 360 play and charge kits.

What if I told you that I cared? Would that at least bump it up to just under "Vita 8 GB Memory Card" status?

I'm way too lazy to search for the exact number, but I think Harker dropped the hint, and I think it was a little lower than that. Maybe 19K. Definitely not 29K. But I vaguely remember more like 15K.
