#2I am really excited about Ouya. It has the potential to become a game changing (pun intended) product. I hope they can live up to all the buzz they have generated.

I hope that even if they fail this will be one of those failures that expands our collective knowledge.

#4This kind of money is clearly a message the world needs a product like this. Hopefully existing players (Sony, M$) will think about it a bit. I hate the fact that my PS3 is still considered the latest generation of consoles and is now more than 5 years old.

#5Some people are concerned about the hardware, whether or not the specs will start to get outdated when the product finally ships (Q1/Q2 2013).
Another point is the openness, it being so open for not only software hacks but also hardware hacks, will it also produce a lot of cheaters in online multiplayer games?
I pledged, and personally, I can't wait to get my hands on it! I think the media player capabilities and Android compatibility will make the product succeed anyhow. Certainly, the campaign (904% of Kickstarter goal) already has.

#6What we can take away from this, and i hope the major console makers do this as well is, that many people (especially developers of course) want a more open and friendly console market. This basically embodies what the rumours wanted Valve to do with their own pc-based console.

Why do you hate that fact? It's not like the PS3 is a bad console in 2012, incapable of incredible modern games. The console lifespan is lengthening as a general rule, and for good reasons.

#8I really hope this silences the naysayers. The negativity around here has gotten out of hand lately. I personally want this project to succeed.

#9Android is giving me hope for the future of general purpose computing.
With the nexus 7 finally bringing a non-sucky open tablet to market, and Ouya proving that users and developers want open (Or at the very least that open products have a chance in the market.), I'm feeling more comfortable with a technology landscape full of tablets, smartphones and purpose specific devices like gaming consoles.

Compared to computer games today the PS3 is incapable. Point in case: Battlefield 3, where they have to limit the game to 24 players, where PC has 64 players. And it has been like that a long time now, with many games.
That's why I like Ouya, it focuses on another market, a market where consoles generally have done really great, arcade style games. Also, with the possibility to use it as a media center is a killer feature for many people.
