Pre-sale for the fun sized Android game console, Ouya, may have closed on Kickstarter’s site, but interested gamers can still place an order.The Ouya project made shockwaves by pitching an affordable Android-based console that exists in a decentralised gaming market. The console represents an open gaming community, innovation and affordability, and that’s just one of the reasons why it broke so many KickStarter records.
It is the fastest product to reach the million dollar mark, in 8 hours and 22 minutes, and for reaching $2,589,687.77 within 24 hours. It almost tripled its $950,000 goal within the first day thanks to the pledges of 28,500 interested gamers and developers. After 30 days 63,000 backers contributed more than $8.5 million to the project, proving there is demand for such a product.
If you’re after your own Ouya console, you can pre-order one from the company’s website.
