OUYA has plans to level up in the near future, and it
has nothing to do with a new console. In fact, it has
nothing to do with any console at all, as the startup has
confirmed to Engadget that its software/platform will
soon extend to other devices, including set-top boxes
and smart TVs. As you'd expect, the firm's keeping
most details about the "Everywhere" initiative a secret
at this point, but OUYA's slated to announce its first
deal with a hardware manufacturer within the next two
weeks.
This development doesn't mean one of Kickstarter's
biggest success stories is about to get out of the
hardware business, though, as a rep told us "...there will
always be OUYA hardware." The firm will push
through with the annual refresh cycle it promised,
though he couldn't share details about the next reference
design. If you're crossing your fingers for a mobile
release, though, we're sorry to say that won't be
happening. At this point, we're told the Everywhere
project has nothing to do with mobile, since " Julie
[Uhrman] believes strongly that the most immersive
way to game is with controller and screen."
