Ouya: The Kotaku Review

If I was writing a book of personal gaming records, I'd mark up a page for the Ouya: New console that stayed in the box, unplayed, longer than any other one I've ever had. Three days. Sealed.

The Ouya could be a great, inexpensive Android-based gaming system for everyone. Right now, though, it isn't even close.

Huge disruptive potential not yet realized

The Ouya gaming console ships with oodles of potential, but thanks to its lack of refinement and weak game library, interested parties should give it time to work out its kinks.
