Ouya everywhere joins Xiaomi w/ Tegra k1. Welcome to china.

For those of you that do not own an ouya, or have not heard of this. Ouya everywhere is Ouya's way of getting their content to other devices, effectively bringing Ouya's software to more users. This both allows new users to experience Ouya with out purchasing another device, but also can act as hardware upgrade to current owners. Ouya inc has taken steps to help people experience their content by partening up with Madcatz, Wikipad, and most recently Xiaomi.

Now that everyone from Google to Amazon is getting into the Android gaming set-top box business, Ouya is going to have to get creative. It's already announced plans for "Ouya Everywhere" to extend its sizable library of 900+ TV and game controller-ready games to other platforms, and now the company tells Reuters it's working out a deal with China's Xiaomi. CEO Julie Uhrmann says the arrangement will see an Ouya channel added to devices like the Mi TV and MiBox, where users can shop for and download games, and with Xiaomi "likely" committing to marketing the games. On the backend, Xiaomi, Ouya and the game's developers split the money. The $99 console has gone through a number of changes (both hardware and software) since it arrived on the scene as a Kickstarter hit, now we'll see if Asia can help provide a second wind for the platform.

This will feature a censored version of Ouya's Discover store with only select games and applications being available. With China's censorship rules in mind, both partners are discussing exactly what will be available along with a few launch titles.

Ouya... is this still a thing?

Yea the fan base is still their and extremely active. Unfortunately, our friends at Ouya don't have the best marketing skills. They've recently pushed an OTA with new features that further encourage development along with Free the Games funding project having some releases.
