Ouya?

Latest comment: 2 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Do you guys not think it would make more sense to use an Xbox, or maybe a SNES or something, as the example of a "home console" instead of the Ouya? It wasn’t exactly a commercial success and had basically zero impact on console gaming culture, aside from generating a lot of jokes at its own expense.

Title self explanatory. Now that it’s been out maybe add the switch 2 to the 9th generation section of the timeline. ~2026-57677-25 (talk) 00:32, 30 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
