[Huff]

[Tasty]

Would rather have SteamOS on it but I guess it should be possible...

hardware is basically an nvidia shield without the screen and game streaming, right?

[MCD]

Someone gotta help Nvidia somehow.

How is the Ouya doing, anyway?

[archnemesis]

They still haven't sent out all the Ouya pre-orders. It's a mess.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Ouya is a joke and it's not unlikely that it is a scam.

[Tasty]

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?

According to SA, in August, it sold somewhere around 2500 units.  Not from VGChartz either.

I believe creamsugar on GAF said launch month retail sales were either ~19,000 or ~29,000.

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.
