I doubt it will ever be sought after or worth much.
Agree, that is plain silly, why buy a console and never play it? I think if the Ouya fails, the online games will go away anyways leaving it worthless.
Don't know, but they still owe me my additional controller.

You could say the same thing for the Xbox though, no?
I don't know what to think about it (other than I don't really need or want one) but if the android gaming platforms that Google or Amazon have been kicking around end up becoming a reality they'll probably bury the Ouya.

True. Luckily for console manufacturers most people would rather connect dedicated devices to their TV's and that includes consoles, and let's not forget the power of branding. The only PC brand that comes close is Alienware but their products aren't oriented to mainstream TV audiences anyway.
Ok, so my development for the Ouya sort of hit a wall. Not the Ouya's fault, it's the software I'm using. It'll get fixed in time, but as of now it killed my interest. Haven't turned my Ouya on since the 3rd or so day after I got it. Then again I haven't turned on my xbox or various other systems for even longer, so that says more about my playing habits than the Ouya. But yeah, I've lost track of how it's even doing or if anyone's making money with their games.
