'TowerFall' is the Best-selling Ouya Game and Has Only Sold 7,000 Copies [UPDATED]

April 28th - via: gamenguide.com
The Ouya console was a tremendous hit on Kickstarter, the fastest project to reach a million dollars, and only the eight in Kickstarter history to do so. The idea of a cheap, customizable, Android-based platform was far too tempting for gamers, and over 63,000 people helped bring it to reality, with many buying it once it was made readily available. It doesn't appear that many of them are actually playing their consoles, however. Towerfall is the best-selling Ouya title by a wide margin and it's been revealed today in an interview with Eurogamer that it has only moved 7,000 copies. (Read More)

Ouya Review Roundup: Can the $99 Console Compete with Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft's Consoles?

July 6th - via: latinospost.com
The Ouya video game console has been released to the general public, in addition to those who backed the Kickstarter campaign that funded the device. The console may not be for those craving blockbuster titles, but at $99, it delivers a solid performance that offers gamers a more low-key video game experience. As Joystiq points out, one of the main appeals of the console is it's size and the library of games that all have some portion free to play. (Read More)

Ouya review

July 4th - via: joystiq.com
If nothing else, the incredible success of the Ouya Kickstarter proved that people were ready for something different.

OUYA goes public, Kickstarter orders still not delivered

June 25th - via: mindofthegeek.com
The OUYA hits store shelves today, but the company has confirmed that not all Kickstarter backers have received their consoles as promised. Delays have pushed back delivery of one of the most successful Kickstarter campaigns to early backers, much to the frustration of gamers who sunk $100 or more into the startup company and console.

However, on the day of the OUYA’s public launch, the company is now stating that not all early backers have received their consoles. (Read More)
