Cloud is the future of gaming.

Seems to be heading that direction. Not sure if I will get on board though...

I'm old. Get off my damn lawn!

Screw clouds, too much stuff is in the clouds, what happens when the clouds dissipates and we get clear skies? We. Lose. All the things! D:

What he said. Cloud gaming is the biggest hustle out there and people are asking for it lol. I am glad I am passed the halfway point of this life ha!

$200?! Well, that was unexpected as fuck. I was assuming this would cost around or beyond the Shield Tablet, because of the new chip and being the first device to utilize it.

This.
They are either over-charging for the k1 or taking a loss on the X1.

My only "HUH?!?!?!" is the 16GB of ram.
They must plan on a lot of cloud gaming which isn't something I'm not a fan of.

A class 10 128gb card goes for about $60.
How much for the remote matters also.

Still, It's not a bad little device at all for $200.

It depends on the Games mostly that become available and how much they try to charge.

Does the Ouya 2 need to match these specs though?

Nope.

This box will probably turn into an FPS Bro-Box.
OUYA is a different market with different games.

As long as OUYA keeps doing it's own thing they won't have any problems.

Does the Ouya 2 need to match these specs though?

For me personally, no. The chip has been the least of my issues with the OUYA. All I would need is the storage issues being solved with more on board memory and/or external storage completely out of beta in every way so that there is no loss of save data issues and using it through USB 3.0, more of a focus on the operating system side of things that solves practically every issue in Unofficial Support and other things people have been requesting like social features, etc. with a massive firmware update, full backwards compatibility, and I would be happy with any Tegra chip higher than Tegra 3. In other words, as long at the OUYA 1.0 side of it no longer has that beta feel to it so that it is more plug and play for the consumer without feeling like you are fighting your OUYA to get it to work and it just has a more powerful chip to justify the name OUYA 2.0 then I'm happy. However, I feel that my opinion is outnumbered by those who take a more developer centric view where they would be happy with the most powerful chip even if that means it comes at the price of the consumer side issues remaining. I guess it is the whole chicken and egg thing. Others feel that ports that they want are lacking because it doesn't have enough power for developers but I think it is because there isn't enough users with a big part of that being that people are first turned off by having to enter their credit card before even seeing what the console is about and then once they get past that wall they will inevitable come across issues that would require them to come online to places like here because it doesn't have a bugs/issues free plug and play console experience.

Well, would a K1 O2 at $99-129 sound feasible for you? There is the high possibility that the NVidia box becomes like Steam Jr. though it's supposed to be an ATV box. Guess we'll have to see how they mesh things but maybe...maybe not.

Unless the OBox can be competitively priced, then I see no reason why I shouldn't pick this up. However, the OBox does have some advantages that might make it worth purchasing regardless if it's not really that ideal in its price when compared to the Nvidia Shield console.
