Question of the week, android gaming...never really interested, if i want to game on the big screen i'll get a bigger cable for the PC to connect it to the TV
When I'm at home I have a million better games to play on my PC or PS3 (or roommates PS4, now). I have zero interest in sitting on a couch to play my Android games or spending any money on a dedicated system to play them, they're already on my bloody phone and a bigger screen isn't going to make them any more enjoyable (given the quality of visuals and mechanics of the games).
I never once got the hype behind the Ouya or Android consoles in general (seriously, how the Ouya got so much hype/funding truly baffles me as a "core" gamer), and after its extremely lackluster performance and how quickly all the hype for the follow-up Android consoles died I'm surprised to see anyone else deciding that it's a market that they want to enter in.
Then again it's Snail Games and I haven't quite put a bead on what's going on with them as of yet.
Question of the week:
for me it depends on the cost of the console. I buy hardware to gain access to things I don't have access to. to buy an additional item to play something I can already play the price becomes the deciding factor for me. being able to play something on a larger screen has some value to me, but that value is pretty limited.
