Ouya



"The revolution will be televised."

The Ouya is an Android-based microconsole, famous for being financed by a record-breaking Kickstarter campaign and crashing e3's parking lot.

It became quite controversial, however, for a flawed launch: many backers did not receive their units in advance, early controllers had issues with lag (since patched) and buttons getting stuck (requires a very simple hardware mod), poor wireless performance, and some games had framerate drop issues for not being properly optimized for the Tegra 3 chip. The lack of game publishers coming on board and good games hurt the system.

It's dead-easy to port from Android and has emulators (up to PS1/N64 run well) and media players. You can easily install almost any Android program.
