I think the OnLive support helped the Vizio Co-Star become this popular, although it’s definitely not the only factor, and probably not even the main one. But anything helps and I think it will help OUYA become a more interesting device as well. OnLive says support for OUYA means that:
- OnLive will deliver a full console-class experience, bringing hundreds of top-tier games from more than 80 publishers to the OUYA console for play on demand.
- OUYA owners will be able to jump in and play any of these games both at home on their OUYA console, and on the go on PCs, Macs, tablets and phones, never leaving a game behind.
- Instant demos will be available for nearly every game in our ever-growing library—from eagerly anticipated indie titles like Ravaged, to hot blockbusters like the upcoming Darksiders® II. Players can experience up to 30 minutes of each game for free before deciding what to buy. If they like it, they can continue playing where the demo left off.
I feel that the controller takes a big chunk of OUYA’s pricing, and I’d rather the company spent the extra money on getting more powerful hardware for 2013, like Tegra 4 or Exynos 5250 processors, which should be more in line with the kind of hardware that smartphones and tablets will feature next year.
