[BBC] Ouya game console smashes funding target

A plea for funds to help build a cheap games console has ended with nine times more cash donated than had been sought.

Ouya asked backers to pledge $950,000 (£606,000) via the Kickstarter website to turn designs for the console into a finished product.

By the time the pledge period ended on 9 August the total promised had hit $8,596,475 (£5.8m).

The Ouya console is expected to go on sale in March 2013 and cost $99 (£63).

Does it come with a controller at that price ?
We can say good bye to PS3 and 360, this is going to smash records.

I am a believer... and a backer of this little guy.

and you can already pre-order it here for $109.00

so they already jacked up the price $10 bucks from what the backers paid

Records for what? You seriously think this is going to come anywhere close to the sales numbers of the 3 mainstream consoles?

Bit of a weird question, if they wanted just under $1m to start up, and they now have $8.5m, what are they going to do with all that spare cash? Just invest it in better marketing / design?

Executive bonus checks of course! tongue.gif

They claim it will go to make the product "even better", but we'll see.

Wii already won the crappy hardware console award. This is just going to be more kickstarter vaporware or crap that people throw in their closet and never use.

More money = more buying power = lower cost components = ability to produce more consoles or better components = more profit
