3rd Party Gaming

[Xephon0930]

Ever since a massive overload in Kickstarter Projects being done,among them being a 3rd party console called the Ouya,3rd party gaming has become a thing and is gaining momentum that wouldn't have been possible in the past generations.

It makes me wonder how much longer would it take for the big cats in the industry like Nintendo,Microsoft,and Sony to consider them as legitimate competition?

I'm rather interested in how this plays out and would like to wonder if the rise of 3rd party will make the bigger names change what they're doing cause it most likely isn't working for them. Sort of like the rise of 3rd party Transformers manufacturers like Fansprojects and the like. What are your thoughts on this,guys?

I never heard of the Ouya or the people behind it until I saw the thread

So I looked it up, and it's certainly unusual, that's for sure, Console itself & the controller look a bit odd, but meh...

So I went to watch a youtube video to full details, and still, didn't blow me away that much,

I'm all for Independant games to come along, but do we really need a console for it,
I know it includes Modding & Hacking etc...but still, I don't think a console's that necessary

and as for Legitimate Contenders, I don't see this even being close to becoming a rival to the Big 3

My 2 Cents on the matter anyway xD
