It’s Open Season!
We just licked the stamps and waved a fond farewell to 1,200 OUYA Developer Consoles. These are the early versions of OUYA that developers will use to start making games. They’re on their way to developers around the globe – by land, air and sea. OK, only by air — we want you to get them quick. Devs, expect them on your doorstep within the next few days.
First to accurately guess how many units are in the crate above (and tweet the answer to @playouya with #ouyacrate) wins a Dev Console. No, seriously. **We have a winner!**
We know some of you just… can’t… wait. You’ve been checking off your calendar along with us. Forget the holidays! There are games to build!
If you’re like us, you’re frustrated that shipping companies haven’t invented teleportation yet. To scratch that OUYA itch, we made you a short unboxing video. Check it out:
Here’s a list of the Dev Console package contents if you can’t watch the video right now:
- Jet-black OUYA Devs package — “Thanks for believing”
- Official Developer Welcome Letter (Frameable!)
- One frosted translucent OUYA Dev Console
- Surprise! We included a Micro-USB port, for your computer-hooking-up pleasure.
- Two frosted translucent OUYA Dev Controllers
- Batteries included!
- HDMI cable
- Micro-USB cable
- Power adapter
There you have it. The OUYA Dev Console – sleek, solid and…see-through! (We’re, ahem, open.) As we said previously, these kits are very special. They’re a one-off design – “rare drops” for the most discerning and faithful developers whom we’re looking forward to meeting in the coming months.
They’re a work in progress, so we want your feedback. (Yes, we know the D-pad and triggers on the controller still need work — the final version will be different.) There will also be plenty of bugs…help us find them so we can fix ‘em! Please leave feedback on our forums at devs.ouya.tv.
And a little bonus is that the Dev Console has an early early early (you get that?) version of what our console UI will look like. We’ve been working on it, and we think you’ll love where we’re going with it. For now, here’s a screenshot of what it might look like when Kickstarter backers get their consoles in March…
So if you haven’t already guessed it, we’re opening up the OUYA Dev Portal, where developers can get all the information they need to start making games!
Devs, now’s the time to jump in and give the Dev Portal a whirl! Log in with your #ouyausername, download the OUYA Development Kit (“ODK”), participate in the developer forum where you can give feedback, ask questions, discussify and get ready to test your game on your incoming Dev Console.
And, just to underscore our commitment to creating this platform together with you developers, we’re releasing our ODK under a free software license.
We gave away a bunch of Dev Consoles to aspiring developers in our #myouyagame giveaway — but if you don’t have a Dev Console, we have instructions on how to get started making games for OUYA with off-the-shelf hardware included within the ODK.
We’ll be living together within the Dev Portal from now until launch – answering your questions, applying your feedback, and generally getting to know all of you as developers. We can’t wait to meet you – so come say, “hi.” And make some great games now, kk?
Viva la revolución,
Juleskane and all of us at OUYA
I’d say 480 units!
I’d say 576 units :)
I’m guessing 864 units.
I’d say there are 600 dev consoles in there :)
120 units?
36
My guess is 545 units.
I think there are 432 dev consoles in that package.
192 units? Congratulations on shipping.
Fun! My guess after serious consideration is 192 units! :-)
my guess is 400units
300 units
300 units is my guess
IM SO EXCITED, I JUST CANT HIDE IT!
I think that there is 288 Ouya units!
144
168
192 sorry
maybe 576 :)
36? Just guessing- looks like shipping labels on the side. Probably waaaaay off, since they’re so small.
Looking forward to seeing the consumer models out in the world!
I’d say there are 192 units.
Maybe I’m wrong but my guess will be 144.
Just wanted to say: So far, you are making a great job!!!! Hope I can get my unit in the next couple of months. I can’t wait. Keep it up!
Viva la revolución
It is 72 units to bad I don’t have twitter :P
oh noes it is 108
144 !
my guess is 154 units
I’m going to say 192 per pallet.
12 units
From the looks i am going to say 36 units.
I’d say 600 units.
How do you pronounce the name of the console?
600!
I don’t have access to twitter… I’d say 72 units…
Bring on the public release!
YEAH! Can’t wait to develop on it :)
Hi There.
I would say there are 36 Units, 3 units per box with 6 boxes.
Regards
Itai
There’s any news about Unity3D compatibility with Ouya?
I tweeted but I would guess 576 units per crate. I’m so excited to see android games on my big screen. The potential is huge! Thank you Ouya.
Oops, I see we were meant to post on twitter, my answer was wrong and there was already a winner … oh well :P
Can’t wait to see the end product, great work guys
That’s 360 units right there.
I am super psyched to see this moving forward. I’ve been keeping a very close eye on this project since I found it on kickstarter a long time ago and it’s amazing to see how far it’s come!
I am excited and can’t wait for it to be retail where I can buy one (I’m a gamer, not a developer.) and mess around with it! Keep up the fantastic work OUYA team :D
As I’m looking forward to March, great job guys.
Please tell me you are going to fix those controllers or let us use bluetooth ones.
1. Get real directional buttons, not that lame xbox pad thing
2. move the sticks to the place they belong not one low and one high. If you need a hint go look at a PS3 controller or a thrustmaster.
OUYA team…
This looks fantastic. I see the potential that OUYA has in the current market. The fact that providen an open SDK for developers is a killer feature. Honestly, OUYA might become the perfect tiny computer too. I am already planning to get one maybe with my next paycheck. Are you planning to also sell a keyboard for it? If I can run Google Chrome/Puffin browser, I would be in heavens.
Good job…keep it up!
-Tony
My guess: 288 units.
Also, for the next OUYA 2 box, you should add a SD card slot so users can have the flexibility to save more apps, music, pictures, etc… Roku has one..you should take this into consideration.
…can you also add maybe later a motion sensor!? (“you are the controller”)
-Tony
Congrats!
I’ll make a wild guess …. 192 Units :)
504 units?
I’ll guess 144.
360?
I really want to see Ouya’s hardware evolve over time. The console could redefine the way the industry operates into the future.
Also, I estimate 360 units!
This looks awesome. I wanna try some game dev eventually! Also, I say there’s about 800 units there
Uch…I sure hope those controllers end up a little less bulky. Man they are ugly and cheap looking.
Is the console upgradeable like a PC?
192 to 198 (192) is my choice number
Congratulations on shipping.
my guess is 180 units.
Second choice 198.
3rd choice is 288 which is prob the most realistic.
I would say 120 per crate
216 units.
My guess: 280
180
240
576 units!
I pre-ordered mine! I can’t wait to get it in April, I’m counting down the days on my calender. I’m really looking forward to this, and please make a Star Trek and Star Wars game.
My guess is 288 dev units per crate. the pallet dimension is 48x40x5, the shipping box dimension is roughly 22x16x16, and the dev kit box dimension is roughly 10x5x3.5 if you do the math it equals to 288 units per crate.
There are 768 units in the crate. Tweeted it also.
192 units
If by crate you mean one box, 48
If by crate you mean all the boxes stretch wrapped on that one pallet, then 720 consoles.
Sounds like open minded thinking to me…
My guess is 180
12 per box @ 15 boxes per pallet.
Best wishes!
there are 140 ouyas on that pallet.
either 140 or 130 ouyas
my guess would be 144.
I’ll hazard a guess at 868 altogether on the pallet.
rough estimate =
10,000 units.
each box prolly holds a couple hundred.
those things are small. like the size of a pack of cigarettes.
Peace
B
If it’s period 1,200 units, but if it’s per box ….then 100.
I gess there are 250 consoles there :)
I would say 144:
(12 box/crate) * (3 rows/box) * (4 consoles/row)
I would say 135
168 units
768
120 units
I say a good 950
128
My guess is 720 units. 3x4x5 * 12 boxes.
And awww man, I don’t have a Twitter. Oh well, guess I can’t win. =l
1200.
I’d guess 54.
I’d say 162. Nine per box.
10 per box, 12 boxes = 120
1000
600
36 units
540
24 units is my guess
Looks like 96 units per skid/pallet to me.
I’m guessing 360 units and a quick question- you say the finalized consoles will not be made of plastic. Metal body panels or composite?
Keep the 360 style stick placement, the Sony Playstation controller layout is terrible (which is why they are the only company that uses it).
im going to guess and say 120
It should be about 144 in a crate
I hope i win
270 units
432 units
59
24
64 dev consoles per box, 768 total consoles per pallet.
300
216 i think
180= 30 boxes x each contains 6 kits
486
There are 216 units
In first box – 18
In second – 18
Total – 32
In first box – 15
In second – 15
Total – 30
My guess is 288
36 + 36 = 72
64 units
720 units
432
768 units
Hello, will this console be on sale on Mexico? As it is open source I see no problems running into law and sales. Might be just the FCC. Can you please inform me. Thank you
I’d say 288 units!
502
48
I guess there are 162 consoles crammed into one shipping unit.
That’s because I guess 9 of the black boxes shown in the video get into one brown box, 6 brown boxes per layer, 3 layers tall.
sorry, forget to add 6, so total 648:)
Over 9000
1
4815162342
I say its either 64, 72 or 98
500 units
240 pieces (20 in each box)
108 units
It must be 900..
645
Any prize for pointing out that it isn’t a crate………..but a pallet?
I was going to say 216, but thats taken. 270 is now my answer
420
Hi there,
it´s 600 each. The 1200 on 2 Paletts
in boxes of 240 boxes
900
I say 864.
288 Ouyas 24 per box
There’s 216
288 24 per box
540 is the correct number.
Hello: Congrats on shipping. I would say there are 192 units in there.
420
450
121
324
That’s 324 total, or 27 per box. I’m not sure what you wanted.
I’m going to guess 684!
180 unidades
i Say there are 288 in that crate
Around two hundred fifty units is my guess.
200.
My guess would be 288
778
360
156 is my guess
Maybe….. 120 units are there
I’d guess 216 units on that one pallet.
uh…240!
I would say 180. In each box, 5x3x2 consoles, and 12 boxes makes 180 consoles.
350 for the win!
288
There is 144 units
120
110
12 lol
441 =D
I quess it’s 108 consoles.. :)
I would estimate 320 Ouya units on that pallet.
15*20=300
350
288
96
My calculation tells that there are 15 big boxes in that crate, each box having 10 OUYAs inside it.
I am thinking 375
36 on each crate
It’s over 9000!
96 units :)
In my opinion 48
http://www.vk.com
108 OUYA
240
108
Look it’s relatively simple.
Given the size of the Black Dev Box.
My guess 8 to a shipping box.
And 15 boxes to a pallet.
That’s 120 units each.
Furthermore they’re shipping 1200 units.
That’s 10 pallets.
I just wish I new about this before, so I could have gotten one.
Congrats, to those lucky few.
Using the theory of emergence, the answer is most likely 428 units. Yes, I seriously calculated it with every number posted before me. Bonus points for dedication at least right? haha
1288 :)
2013 units
1000
my guess is 240 :-) At first I thought 540… but 240 makes more sense :D
But I don’t find my Twitter-Account, can’t remember my name or emailadress :D
1488
Must be 43
That screenshot looks an awful lot like metro.
it is 36
3 per box * 12 boxes
240
i solved! 360 units… (=
For $100 it is worth getting it even as a media center pc considering that xbmc will work on it.
I can see this competing upcoming boxes running with Steam for Linux
i’d say 72pcs
24 consoles X 18 boxes = 432 :)
Finally, the best console in a long time has arrived. Thank You for including an HDMI cable, that small little accessory shows how much you care for you customers.
Thank You for getting it Right OUYA!
I guess 1200 units in the crate.
There are around 60 units!
I would say there are 90 units inside.
45 штук pieces units
72
creio q haja 150 OUYA´S nesta caixa
162 ouya
Now honestly, no one did any match? We have no winner yet? Or it has been announced on Twitter?
1200 units
120 per pallet
10 pallets
go go go
I say 288
345
Will the micro-usb be included on consumer boxes? I would love to port some of my Unity3D games to the OUYA, but I’m not sure if the micro-usb interface will be on my consumer box. I simply did not have the budget for a dev console, so I hope I can still get my games out there.
540
I would like the final unit comes with the lastest tegra 4 processor would be great
How can i dev ouya games without console? :’(
hi guy checking the new release of nvidia tegra 4 chip would be nice ouya have a plan to sell a cpu upgrade because if we consider it an open platform and we could also expand memory in the final version or any future version I’d pay to be nice to always have a system which could be updated easily and without any other cost of buying a whole new console only and upgrade the processor or add more memory to new games or more hard disk space there as I leave wishlist
216
384
540 units per pallet
I would say there is about 192.
432 with both pallets combined.
216 per pallet.
don’t like you’re using words “viva la revolucion” which are attached to this bastardo murderer Che Guevara.
144 units (12 cases, 12 units per case)
I think that there is 288 Ouya units!
I think that there is 360 Ouya units!
I say 36 consoles!
all of you guys are wrong because each box is 2 kits controllers too not just the consle itself i say 24 2 x 12=24units im so sure i got it right its not funny
