All the hype.
All the threads.
All the shitposting.
And now nothing.
What went wrong, /v/?
It was a flawed idea from the start.
All it plays are android games, and anyone with a smartphone can play those without a console. Hell, for about 1/4th the cost of an OUYA they can just get a bluetooth controller and even have decent controls for games on their phone.
Sure, it represented an open dev console that had loads of freedom, but in the end it was just a glorified phone game player in a world where cheap smartphones exist.

It only plays the games i can play on my smartphone,
But i already have a smartphone and i dont play games on it

It only played android games, and at that only on your TV, and at that poorly.
If it had been stronger, and more open to people who would want to use homebrew, and the system had been cheaper it might of gotten a nice little niche.
I also kek remembering people on leddit thinking it would run Skyrim. That also makes me remember how long it's been since it began.

Isn't this happening with VR now? There isn't even a VR thread up right now. Future my ass.

It can't even play modern smart phone games as it has the specs of a 2011 phone

Honestly, I wouldn't mind having another option to playing smart phone games. Like, I don't like playing games on my phone since it's pretty fiddly and it's not so good at connecting to the net.
Then again, I just use BlueStacks for that, I don't need a console.
People kickstarted them, expecting a legitimate competitor to the Xbox and Playstation. They wanted a new console, more or less.
The Ouya idiots decided to make a stripped down phone.
Made no sense, but there it is.
Did anyone actually buy into the hype? From the start, we knew it was a crappy cell phone.

Daily reminder that Patcher said the ouya was gonna be nothing but a shit console with no success and many retards on /v/ got mad about it

VR actually does something unique and there is a high demand for the product that's causing a shortage
Ouya was plagued with bad idea after bad idea and then when it came out it was already out performed by most phones on the market and media devices like the Roku and Fire stick that did the job better and cheaper

This keeps getting posted. It was overhyped because vidya "journalism" was looking for something new to talk about over the dragged on console generation that lasted longer than normal. It was like how the iPad was hyped, except the iPad was simply one of the first in a new era of affordable and efficient tablets that were destined to flood the market regardless.
Ouya had a bunch of other competitors by the time of its release, but they never caught on because no one wants to invest money into a cheap android htpc.
