£220 for an Android console? What are they thinking? Haven't they noticed the cost of PS3s and 360s these days?

[Nobull]

Hahahahaha I would be surprised if they sell a single unit at that price, it's utter "mad" ness.

[Cog]

If people wanted to play their favourite mobile games on the TV, then they probably already have a mobile device they can play them on.
Surely it would make more sense just to market a controller that works with tablets.

[DemonHighwayman]

A bit pricey for most folks I would think but definitely a more attractive unit than the ouya.

[kingpotnoodle]

Surely display mirroring a mobile phone or tablet is just a far better solution to this scenario. I really don't understand the market for playing simple phone games on a big TV, they're small touch screen optimised. I'd wager that most Android gaming is boredom breaking and done either on public transport or when the TV is in use by other members of the family who are watching crap and you don't fancy going to your room on your own! Does anyone actually specifically sit down to play an Android game?

Fail at that price

[minicale]

If you going to buy an "android console" why not just buy an android phone that you can take anywhere with you

£80 more than a PS3 or 360. Yeah, that's a winning strategy for an Angry Birds station.

[hatsumi]

Lol, needs to knock at least £100 off the price. Another £130 gets you a ps4! With the catch there would be no games at that price I suppose.

Hahahahaha I would be surprised if they sell a single unit at that price, it's utter "mad" ness.

+1........is this for real.....the price is ridiculous.

[Gav]

This is way too pricey. They should have cut down the specs and made it a similar price to the Ouya. I feel kinda bad for them, this is going to flop

[cptwhite_uk]

Well I've ordered will update here if it comes through!

[DanceswithUnix]

If they sell the hand controller on its own, then that could be interesting.

You could pair it with a £100 tablet, plugged into a TV with a £2 hdmi cable, and play games on that.
Tegra 4 is still DX9 generation graphics, I can't believe how badly Nvidia dropped the ball on a graphics product.
