The (not especially long) wait is over. Ouya, the $99 game console Kickstarted to the tune of $8 million less than a year ago, hits store shelves this week.
Although the tiny Android-powered box is hardly as powerful as the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One — heck, even Wii U can run circles around it — Ouya has a couple of distinct advantages that might just give it a foothold in the difficult console market. It costs a hundred bucks, for one. And it has a wide-open app store that allows any and all developers to create and sell games with minimal restrictions. That might not be enough to make Ouya a success, but if the console goes down, it won't be for lack of quality content. Already, there are more than 100 games available, all of which are free to try.
