With Indie support pouring into the PS4 & X1, is the Ouya dead in the water?
I haven't really ever wanted the Ouya, except thinking it was a neat concept to play Android/Indie games on a television. After all the Ouya has exclusive games I believe, and it is said it is pretty much a dev kit in the sense that you can tinker with it, and make games.
Unfortunately, for Ouya it seems the Xbox One also has a game developmental function for independent creation.
The PS4 was also heavy handed at Gamescon with Indie games being created exclusively, and non-exclusively for it. The only threat from the Playstation brand is PS Mobile, which has functionality for the Vita handheld, although it is a small mobile gaming library in comparison to Android and iOS.
Now, where the Ouya can win is specific Android games of course, so I am curious if the Ouya still has a strong market appeal. Does the Ouya have iOS games as well (I doubt it, but it would be neat)?
I don't wish for any company to fail as I think every console developer has something to bring with the table, I just hope the Ouya people have a 2.0 version in the works come 2014 or sooner as it is left in the dust as just an oversized mobile games machine with few exclusives.

That is key, because it has something other platforms don't. No other platform has support from Android developers, and that is what separates the Ouya from its inferior competition. And the fact that it is only $99 is another plus in the Ouya's favor. Other platforms are quite simply beneath the Ouya. You're welcome.
