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...

a New Console???????
Say hello to Ouya, it is a custom-based Android operating system targeted to launch early next year.
We know that it's open to any developer making a game, provided that they have a free portion to it such as a Demo or Free-to-Play version. TwitchTV is one of the many Android apps that are supported. It does connect by HDMI at 1o8op HD, has WiFi and Bluetooth, and Tegra 3 Quad Core Processor.
The controllers are wireless and use two AA batteries, and also have a touch pad for certain app games. Other buttons make it similar to standard controllers with D-pads, action Buttons, and analog sticks.
How much would this bad boy cost? Just under a mere $100 is all! And while this may basically be a definite, with private fundings secured, the company has a kickstarter page asking for an additional $950,000 (click HERE to visit their kickstarter page for more on funding and rewards).
It may not be a strong competitor to the three mega consoles (but maybe who knows) it is still an interesting inclusion and can definitely be invited by gamers. No games have been confirmed so far, but some companies are interested like the makers of Minecraft.
console comes out sometime next year...
