Ouya Performance Not Particularly Exciting
hypnosec writes "Results of recent benchmark tests reveal that Ouya is not up to the mark and there are over 70 other ARM devices that perform better than the gaming console. Futuremark, which is known for its benchmarks like 3DMark and PCMark, benchmarked mobile devices and the Tegra 3 powered Ouya has been ranked 73rd."
Of course, most of the those devices cost a lot more than $100 without carrier subsidies.
The thing that pisses me off is that it won't fit in my pocket very well.
Plus every time I make a phone call I have to find an outlet.
Mobile games are crap because a touch screen is not a controller and $1.00 isn't a viable price for a quality game. Your numbers are complete bollocks too. The Wii alone has sold 100 million but even if you want to claim only half the console are in use there is still a guarantee all those people want to play games. For you silly activation stat there is no indication how many of those are upgrades, how many are for business or how many will buy apps. The mere fact android has surpassed iPhone and yet iPhone is by far more popular in online usage stats just shows how many android phones are not being used to their potential. The actual market for good games on mobiles is tiny because making good games is nearly impossible on a touch screen. Ouya will prove that and be a dismal failure.
