That's the question about the Tegra 3. And by the time it gets released the Tegra 4 is supposed to be out. I'm skeptical about a mobile chip being able to do much, but it may be possible. They say it can reliably push 1080p video so it may be alright for movies even if the games suck.

Looks like they are gonna go over their goal many times over, so maybe they'll add some enhanced stuff.

I don't understand the reasoning for the interest tbh. But that's just me.

Is this just about playing mobile and tablet games on my TV?

No. Nope. Nyet. Nein. Can we say it more clearly?

OUYA was not created merely to host ports of existing Android games. We’ve built this badboy to play the most creative content from today’s best known AAA game designers as well as adored indie gamemakers.

That said, we believe many existing Android games will feel bigger and better on a TV with a real controller. And we’ve heard from developers like Brian Fargo and Adam Saltsman that the controller will be the most exciting reason to develop for OUYA. We hope they speak for all developers when they say OUYA will inspire new forms of gameplay.

am not copping this yet, know am kick myself later for not doing it but still let see how it pans out, even if you dont play games on this the fact that it will become the first media streamer MEANT to be hacked makes it worth the $$$ or imagin this thing with nexus Q capabilities etc

I wish someone would create a console that is a little more powerful than the Wii U and is very hackable and customizable. I know there are people out there that would like to develop fan made sequels to games and I would love to play such games. For example someone made a stand alone sonic game called Sonic Fan Remix
Sonic Fan Remix

and then there was a streets of rage HD remake
SorR project

I'm willing to bet that there are people making soul calibur sequels street fighter sequels and I know the MUGEN scene is pretty big too. I'd love to play all these games while sitting on the couch.

I wonder how concrete these specs are... were they based solely on price (keeping the unit at ~$99) or just on what the initial $950k startup could do...
