Time to have a good old fashioned poll on when the Ouya 2 will be Announced.
We know as of Jan that it was planned by this: http://ouyaforum.com/showthread.php?...sition-at-Ouya. It also seems they stopped making the current Ouya to clear out stock probably as far back as November.
So get your bets in, when will the Ouya 2 be announced. Hit up the public Poll above.
Feel free to also leave your poll answer reasoning below.
Where is "When it's ready"? :topsy_turvy:
I think there will eventually be updated hardware with the OUYA storefront (or whatever that will morph into) on it, but it will be a China-only Alibaba-box.
You don't clear out old stock by just plain being out of stock - which is what happened with the OUYA. There's got to be something in their dealings with the Chinese that prevents them from making more OUYAs, or they wouldn't have suddenly flat out refused to make the butterfly-in-the-skyblue ones. OUYA, Inc is just a husk briefly animated by the spirit of Alibaba while Uhrmann and buddies prepare to float away on golden parachutes.
Just pure speculation, but I think they can't make anymore Ouya's because they stopped the manufacturing for them. It's possible the Ouya 2 might be being made at a different manufacturer and they stopped all proceedings with the current manufacturer. Alternatively the current manufacturer might have been getting ready to produce the O2 and therefore cant make the current Ouya anymore. Speculation of course.
Honestly I'm a little tired of waiting and hoping for a mystical Ouya 2 that may or may not come into being. For that reason, I chose "Never". Don't get me wrong, I'd love to be proven wrong, but I just don't see it happening at this point.
I think they will have another one later in the year, it seems they are focusing on the Software/OS side at the moment and are hoping to roll right into the fall holidays with an OUYA2.
I voted, nyaa~

I like the thought of this, but at least an announcement would be great. I know pricing is going to be a huge topic, but could they be waiting for the right time to announce anything concrete when they know for sure Tegra K1 (at least) are to be inside the Ouya2 while keeping the overall price down and priced to move. I have no idea how much it would cost, but just a random thought that crossed my mind.Quote:

Looking back now, it seems they stopped making the Ouya come November/December (3-4 months ago). Now that we have all begun to realize, it's a matter of time before Ouya devs start to become aware on mass and start rapidly losing faith, then the Ouya development exodus begins. Not to mention the field day the press will have when they realize.
To me, Ouya have got until the end of April at best before the shit hits the fan - and to be honest that's really pushing it. Every day that goes by now, could see this whole current fiasco publicly explode in Ouya's faces. It's like watching a ticking time bomb, and you know what happens when the time runs out, click the button to see -> http://www.soulstice.org/
But who knows, they could have other surprises in store. OE on ATV , a buyout etc, who knows
I closed my eyes and randomly picked one. :D
I guess I'll reveal my answer. I said April.
You and me both KS.Quote:

Wow close to half of everyone believe there will ever be a Ouya 2. Interesting
I expect an announcement in winter 2015 at least, or 2016 at most.
I guessed like machina and say prob winter of 2015, early 2016. It seems like around oct/nov/dec stuff sometimes comes out so maybe like around thanksgiving to xmas time.Dont know really,but theres nothing really mentioned now, and I dont think we have any drawings or prototypes or anything so thats why I dont think there will be anything till way after the summer. Maybe they'll hit us with it in the winter and it will be released next year, although if somethings in the works, the sooner, the better, but I really dont mind waiting. Gives me time to play orig Ouya more until it comes out.
I wanted to hope for this too. My random mouse click selected October, so I'll stick with that.Quote:

I voted :)
June :)
So does RiotingSpectre's post just completely destroy voting in favor of 'Never'? Perfect, this is just what many people wanted to hear.
http://ouyaforum.com/showthread.php?...s-amp-Concerns
No matter when it is announced / released I will be happy. I know as others have stated, I will enjoy the current Ouya until that day comes
I voted never cause they said yearly releases and there was no release last year xD
Not in any rush personally, but I think it will probably happen either late this year or early next.
Surprised no one has picked July
Everybody hates July.Quote:

Fellow April voter, what are you thinking now?Quote:

Then if that takes off they will release the OUYA 2.0 to get even more devs to make games for the Chinese while still trying to get a little more gamers over here. So, it will kind of bounce back and forth like that to milk the China success to help it become more successful here over time.
I voted never because of peer pressure.
Maybe, maybe not.Quote:

The consumer has been getting ignored for a long time and if it continues then that part of the market will be destroyed completely, if it isn't already. Developers need consumers just like OUYA does. Developers are not going to buy into making games for the Chinese market, they can't even get devoted developers to do it so how are you going to entice a new round of developers when everyone thinks the company gave up and folded. They are letting their name erode into the abyss. Except for random new machines, there has been no real news from any other microconsole, they had plenty of opportunity to step up and say something and didn't. You don't completely ignore your users, fanbase and devoted fans for an unknown market, it's common sense but that's exactly what it looks like when you refuse to say anything at all. Customer retention costs a whole lot less than trying to get a new customer. How are they going to get people here when there were no consoles for about 4 months and there's no news so people still think OUYA is dead? Obviously their perspective is different, if it wasn't then this wouldn't be happening.Quote:

I meant focused on the devs in the west and users in the east. Kinda like how a bunch of products we buy say "Made in China" but it going the other way around by the games being made here and sold there.Quote:
