Sure thing. And thanks for calling me on that, because I was completely wrong about the Ouya for some reason.
I think of Ouya as a game streaming device because:
(a) this seems to be the direction a lot of companies are headed in;
(b) the device itself is so small[1] that it seems like it can't run a powerful game, so I just mentally jumped to the conclusion that it is a streaming device; and
(c) the pictures I keep seeing on news websites and such are of the game controller, not the device itself, so I assumed that it was similar to the OnLive service (I recall their ads only showing the game controller as well).
[1] It has the same footprint of an Apple TV or Roku box.
Thanks - I wonder if this was cleverly misleading marketing or accidental, whether many people thought the same as you or just a small minority, and if many whether that will help / has helped or hinder/ed Ouya sales...
