Let's talk OUYA 2. What would you like to see?

[Killswitch]

Do you consider the motherboard/processor the only components when building a PC? To keep at 150/below, that's already 1/3 of the budget gone. Nevermind wireless, bluetooth, case, controller, ram, ports, storage, ect. Don't see how the K1 won't be the new kid towards the end of the year, as K1 isn't even heavily adopted even yet, if at all. The 32bit hasn't even made it's mark on the market yet, it's that new. For a Q4 Ouya, the 32bit K1 will still be very "new" (to the market). The Nexus 9 hasn't even launched yet that uses K1 and will be priced at $399.

Don't forget tablets have to account for screens and all that too. Those damned screens are not cheap. Who knows if we'll get a K1 or T4, the K1 makes sense from a marketing standpoint but the T4 is price effective and I guess it does the job but not as well as the K1 obviously.

Agree with you Killswitch. The screen(inc touch and glass layers) is usually 3 - 5 times the cost of the SOC . If the product has LTE, the chips associated with that are the second most costly item.

I've detailed this before, but I'll go through it again. You cannot determine what OUYA should cost simply by looking at the cost of other products. Let me give you an example. When the OUYA launched at retail , Microsoft were selling the Surface RT with Tegra 3 in it for $500 (dropped to $350 a month later) . Also at that time there was the Wikipad for $250 . At the cheapest end there was the poorly/cheaply built Nexus 7 for $199 - which used the slowest low end 1.2Ghz T30L Tegra 3 as opposed to the fastest top end 1.6-1.7 Ghz T33 Tegra 3 the OUYA uses.
Does that mean the Tegra 3 OUYA should then cost $200-$500 , no, obviously not since the Ouya went on sale for $99 .

Trying to work out what the Ouya could launch for by looking at tablets is like comparing apples and oranges. They are completey different products , have different components and also sell at completely different business models - ie they sell at HW profits whereas the OUYA sells at basically cost and makes money from SW. If you were going to try and use them as a gauge to work out how much the SOC they used cost, you would need to know the profit margin and at least the costs of some or most of their parts.

So I put this together last night for comparison of various micro consoles out there.

Here is a link to the document - LINK

I will be honest here - OUYA is a very low end device when you compare it to other micro consoles. However it has allot of potential.

It is frustratingly low end that I cannot deploy a game with it...

I agree with potenial? I hate to admit that my fire kicks its butt from a performance standpoint!

I would also like to see the Ouya 2 come with a media remote, or perhaps at least have secondary media labels on the controllers 4 buttons which could act as media control buttons

Late to the discussion, but as a developer in general anything I've tried to or `wanted` to do on the Ouya I really can't because the performance is just too slow. I mean, you have to REALLY cut down on what you're aiming to do and be very very optimized. I think this is by far the biggest hurdle. The performance is somewhere between like iPad 1 and iPad 2, and we're now up to like iPad 6 (Air 2) which just came out. Ouya really needs like 4 times the performance or more, preferably more, to stop putting limitations on the kind of games and visuals you can pull off with a 60hz framerate. More cpu performance would be good too, but I think mainly the graphics need a major upgrade. It just feels like a slow, feeble cell-phone shoved in a box, like some kind of 5-year old mobile device. I don't know if the right way is T4 or T5 or K1 or snapdragon or something else... it just has to be something. If they come out with an ouya 2 with like only 2x the performance or something I will not be paying attention. It needs to be more like 5-10 times faster.

Also something to consider is that Ouya is now going to soon get stiffer competition from Apple and Google and Amazon who will likely take major leaps ahead.

I said it once and I'll say it again. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have the tegra K1 inside the new box. It would be so cool and powerful and running games like serious sam 3 is just awesome. Was it streamed I think it was really playing serious sam 3 not sure anyways K1 all the way.

[tozeleal]

Yep the k1 will be perfect!

How about an OUYA kind of twitch.tv? People could share their screen while playing and others can watch it.

If there are still chances to see a physical O2, I'd like it to have an internal sata socket, so to avoid having moving parts and to forget one uses external storage.
