News: Ouya Passes Kickstarter Goal on First Day at $950K

The Android powered $99 game console, which is designed by Yves Béhar, has passed its $950,000 Kickstarter goal. The project went live this morning and has passed its goal in under 24 hours. The Ouya has a quad-core Tegra 3 processor, 8GB of built-in storage and a wireless gamepad. This Kickstarter is still active for another 29 days and it is expected to be given to the supporters by Q1 2013. CEO Julie Uhrman said “The support has been unbelievable. And that’s exactly why we took it to Kickstarter … Kickstarter has just been the most phenomenal platform – for specifically, hardware and video game companies – to bring their ideas to consumers. And if it resonates, you really get this swell of momentum and traction, and that’s what we were hoping for. And it’s just unbelievable, the level of support.”
