NanoTech and OUYA Partner to Bring Games to the Nuvola NP-1 Streaming Media Player

[Killswitch]

What I don't like about OUYA Everywhere is that I'm concerned that it would turn Discover into a secondary feature instead of a primary one, since people would already have other things as primary features there would be less demand to make them secondary features within Discover itself, OUYA iterating slower and stuck with outdated hardware to more easily go everywhere, a lower demand for the console itself and it becoming just a dev kit, and more misconceptions about what the OUYA is.

...and all the other stuff

You brought up almost all of my concerns in there. Google Play will always be the primary if it's present and then maybe some others. Ouya Everywhere is going to take a backseat to the other stores until there is the content to make something like this feasible and who knows if there ever will be when we have to start campaigns to ask people to port a game Ouya.

This little box is a beast. If Ouya 2 comes out with lower specs than some of the other boxes then what is stopping people from buying something else? In that case, the unit is only a positive for developers and not consumers.

TVs. Just don't think it's a good idea because apps are an afterthought, if they had a bigger profile than maybe.

You have a possible AndroidTV, Samsung S Console, maybe a new AppleTV. So the marketplace is going to get cloudy, if you're going to go EVERYWHERE then it might be better to be on branded units like an Ouya tablet not something else where Ouya takes a backseat which will be just about everywhere.

For example, the JXD 7800 though it runs on a Rockchip and also Allwinner versions available but this is what I wouldn't have flinched at, if they had it on one of these. Here's a vid.


The way it SEEMS to be structured now seems like it'll be on EVERYTHING as soon as someone cracks it.

There are actually a lot of niche Android devices that don't have Google Play at all, or that have it and it turns out to kida suck for that device (hi MOJO!). Set-top boxes of any sort are a prime example. I think that initially we'll see OE turn up more often on devices where Play is not a strong feature than on devices where it's the star of the show.

The problem is if Google Play is available, it's still the primary game source. Unless some bigger better content is available on Ouya and not everywhere else but the problem for developers in that case is they'd like to feed themselves and/or family or feed their Mountain Dew addiciton, so until Ouya becomes bigger, it's hard to stay Ouya only.

Timmy just posted another box in the general sections that's a T4 with 4k and costs $105. Has Google Play of course but it's in the price range where it's cost effective unlike MOJO, SHIELD and this beast.

If I owned a MOJO, it's not hard to imagine not really wanting to deal with Google Play most of the time. That's more or less how OUYA Everywhere ended up going to MOJO in the first place, after all.

I guess...but that was a fundamental mistake. How do you put a store on a unit when most games are touch based...
Can't see anyone buying that thing at full price even if they did work but my view on Google Play is very very bad.
