Comment on What Ouya Isn'tparent

Comments

> What used to fit in CD-ROM in PSX days, then on DVD in PS2/Xbox, now it needs bigger and more storage. With the recent download limits from internet companies that would become even harder.

Depends on your Internet connection. As a Steam user, I'm used to downloading games and love the benefits (no worries about losing the disc); though I think the largest game I've downloaded is Portal 2 at ~11GB, even 50 GB will download overnight on my home connection, with a good server. But in general, I don't think OUYA is expected to be about AAA titles...

> Second nature - The device does not serve as something else to be used mainly instead of games. When I bought my PS2, there were not many PS2 games, but it was (and still is) pretty good and cheap DVD player.

Sure it does - classic game emulator, media player / streaming target. Other consoles have to be hacked to run XBMC.
