Anyone know how many OUYAs have been sold

[zeha]

It would be cool if a developer of a very popular OUYA game could tell us how many downloads he has. This could be a pretty good clue. For example Bombsquad, or the Amazing Frog, I think these are the games that almost everyone has at least tried.

As far as OUYA sales go, also keep in mind how many OUYAs you can find on eBay (and could find from day 1), just because a certain number of units has been sold doesn't mean that everyone liked it after all.

In what way a failure?
I bought a GP2X waaaaay back in the day, and that shipped something in the region of 10'000 units - so would that be considered a failure? Or just what they were trying to target/achieve?

I would honestly say the OUYAs numbers are upwards of 250'000, just based on the length of time it's been out, the number shipped for Kickstarter and whatnot. But so many people have this idea that if you aren't doing millions of units, like the big 3, then you've failed. I also find it funny that many people complain about certain things with the big 3, then along comes the OUYA and they just want to slam it because it's the "cool" thing to do. Everyone here will admit that there have been flaws with almost every facet of the system, but it's still here, there are more games coming all the time, the community is growing and I hope more consoles like this continue to pop up and stick around!

Ok, ok, I will spill the beans! Thunder Desert GP was downloaded 3650 times since April.

Interesting. I hope more developers can tell us about their downloads.

According to ouya.tv, all of them were sold.

My Dad is trying to tell me that the OUYA is a failure. Is there a number of how many were sold?

The fact that someone old enough to have a kid old enough to know what ouya is actually knows what ouya is himself tells me it can't be that big a failure.

I equate 'failure' with the term 'obsolete.' People tell you all the time that PCs are obsolete the moment you buy them and walk out of the store with them. However, my PC at home is from 2005. It does everything for me that I want it to do, so therefore, it is NOT obsolete. It only becomes obsolete when I CAN'T achieve what I set out to do with it.

I rank people's negativity and slam on the Ouya much like I do any comment thread about (insert social issue here), which is usually 99% of the people thinking that their opinion is the only one that matters, while they usually don't have any facts or logic to back up their argument. That seems to be on par with "right-out-of-the-gate-Ouya-haters."

The console gaming landscape is changing. But slowly. And there are still many people stuck in the mindset that any new console to come out has to be MOAR than any previous console. Colors, resolution, processor bits, processor speed...we've gone through them all and are running out of things to have MOAR of. The Wii was the first console to not try and out-MOAR the other consoles in its generation and was wildly successful. The Wii-U was the second...and is not. Nintendo is still making money with the Wii-U, so I'd have to call it successful.
The OUYA...it's hard to say for certain as numbers are hard to come by, but I'd assume as they're still in business it has been successful thus far.

Sorry but I don't think Nintendo has made any money with Wii-U. More like lost a boat load.

The marker for failure is when the company gives up on their own product. If a product is a failure, its makers will eventually either stop putting effort and money into supporting it, or they'll go out of business, because they won't have a choice. Virtual Boy was a failure. PS3 and Xbox One were both called failures near launch, but Sony and MS stuck it out and turned it around. Wii U is still being called a failure, but people are starting to turn around and admit they need to get one. It's going to be a bit tight for Big N, but they'll find a way to make money or they'd have pulled out by now. People just like to talk shit.

OUYA could fail. But for now, the company is still building enhancements and looking toward the future. Developers are still releasing great new games. Target is still stocking their shelves with new product. This despite several other devices that were supposed to be "the OUYA killer". In light of all that, I don't think it's up to OUYA or its fans to prove it hasn't failed. You can't prove a negative. It's up to the detractors to show us this failure they keep talking about. They've been talking for two years, and it ain't here yet.
