Ballsy Chinese Console Rips Off Both The PS4 And Xbox One
Errr, wait, unless you were expecting something that actually plays PS4 or Xbox One games. One knockoff Chinese company has decided to kind of merge the two consoles together. No, this is not the Ouya, although it sounds like it. The specs are better than the Ouya, although they are still outdated as well.
The console is clearly modelled on the PS4 (with a grill that looks like it was ripped directly off an Xbox One), while the controller is effectively an Xbox One pad with a few additional face buttons.
The console itself is not out yet, unless it becomes successful on Kickstarter. Most crowdfunding sites, like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, have policies about what happens to your money if the project fails to deliver on its goals, but choosing to back a project is inevitably a risk. Each console will be around $70.
The developers also said that it took them “one year and three months to get the product ready to ship, and spent half of that time building the console’s unique design”. Rather than the Ouye’s design gaining legions of fans, many Chinese gamers have decried the console’s similarities to Microsoft and Sony’s machines.
