New hackable game console running on Google OS aims to "upend" market, asking for $950,000 on crowd-funding website, shooting to launch by March 2013.
A new console is hoping to come to market, and it's not from Microsoft, Sony, or Nintendo. It's called Ouya, and it runs on Google's Android operating system, will sell for under $100, and is aiming to "upend" the current console market. But before that can happen, the creators--also called Ouya--are asking for $950,000 on crowd-funding site Kickstarter by August 9.
Ouya has until August 9 to attract close to $1 million in support.

Those who pledge $10 or more to the Ouya Kickstarter campaign will be able to reserve a username for the console prior to launch. For $25 or more, backers will be able to reserve a username and have an emblem emblazoned next to their tag. For $90 or more, gamers will receive everything already mentioned, as well as a Ouya console (plus extra for shipping), and a controller (plus $30 for a second controller).
