Ouya will be small

Ouya is coming next year, it's gonna happen. And apparently it'll be a very small console, yes even smaller than the other cube shaped console, the Gamecube.

"Our console is quite small," designer Yves Béhar said during a live Q&A on Kotaku, "around the size of a Rubik's cube, and so it will easily fit anywhere in a room, or be easy to throw in a backpack."

While being proven very small, it's still in early development meaning it may not even look like the picture above. And despite its small size it still needs lots of power to run on 1080p HD televisions as promised. With a planned Tegra 3 Quad-Core Processor, 1GB of memory, and 8GB of storage fitting into a three-inch margin, the Ouya will need to be efficiently designed to prevent overheating. Béhar assured backers that these factors are being taken into consideration. "We intend to give the Tegra chipset room to breathe, as obviously it does get warm. Airflow is important here."

Is anyone else excited about a fourth console coming next year? Please comment...
