For the time, it was actually a pretty neat device. It had absolutely horrendous marketing, and all momentum it had disappeared when the project lead was unable to name any games for it during an interview in front of a live audience.

I was expecting the Google play store and not a proprietary store. The controllers were also stupidly expensive and had the shittiest quality.

That said the Ouya paved the way for set top android boxes / apple tv / fire tv / PlayStation mini

They all made the exact same product but had more experience and better funding to do it with.

The Nvidia shield TV is still one of the best TV peripherals. It's way better than any Roku.

Unless you want the apple tv exclusive shows I recommend the Nvidia shield especially if you care about gaming at all on it.

It handles them really well and supports side loading so you can run non-compatible apps (you might need need to hook up a mouse temporarily to get through menus in lieu of a touch interface).
