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

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.
