Mad Catz Confirms Holiday Release for Android-Based System

It’s looking like 2013 is the year of Android-based console systems. Mad Catz, a popular peripheral manufacturer, will be following in the steps of the Ouya by releasing their own Android-powered console this holiday

It will fail like the ouya aswell.

cleft54684d ago (Edited 4684d ago )

Maybe not, the Ouya was a solid idea. The problem was that they tried to create a closed android device similar to the current consoles. There is definitely a market for people that want to play their apps on their tv. The fact that this device allows you to play apps directly from the major android app stores is a huge plus. This could be successful despite the failure that was the Ouya.

NeoTribe4684d ago

I just see it having to small of an install base to ever get big. I mean android games are extremely simplistic for the most part and really don't need a console and remote. Maybe if the games get more complex they could benefit from a console. But then why not just sell them on ps and xbox at a much lower price rather than its own console.

JsonHenry4684d ago

I feel like they would be better off trying to sell this stuff to TV/Bluray/other set-top manufacturers to include INSIDE of their products. Kinda like "Check out this new Samsung smart TV with Madcatz gaming tech inside!"

That way the market get saturated by these devices. Imagine how many games they would sell if this sort of tech was built into all new TVs/DVD players.

jeffgoldwin4683d ago (Edited 4683d ago )

I would never want that or and disc spinning device built into my next $2,000 oled tv. It breaks and you need a specialized tech (expensive as hell, like the way apple scams you to do simple things like change a battery).

Even if they miraculously make the parts accessible, they will be propriety parts and cost an arm and a leg.

I could see maybe bundled into a Blu-ray player, but that would prolly be hard to pull off. It would make some sense though. (dvd movie format is almost dead, imo. It will stick around for a few more years like vhs, but then r.i.p.)

dc7864683d ago

Obviously they are entering in this market very late and its hard to acquire users.

BattleAxe4684d ago

Junk, just like all of Mad Catz products.

BXbomber4684d ago

i agree, i bought a wireless gaming fighting pad from them which cost $40 and not even a week passed and the usb receiver to the fighting pad died and to make matters worse i lost my receipt for the damn thing. NEVER will i buy another madcatz product since its all junk.

JsonHenry4684d ago

I used to think madcatz stuff was junk. Till I started buying their high end PC gaming mice (RAT9 and RAT7MMO) and their high end gaming headset. They really do make some decent stuff. But the last product I bought from them for a console was pure crap. I mean it even felt cheap. I wish they could get it together across the board when it comes to quality.

Funantic14684d ago (Edited 4684d ago )

What will help this sell is the open features it has allowing people to play all their android games regardless of where they got them from. The Ouya doesn't play all android games from just anywhere. I heard where the Ouya wouldn't play Grand Theft Auto that the Mojo could play easily. I'll buy this Mojo if it's below $100. I'll rack up cheap games from Gameloft and few others like Dead Trigger 2.

nirwanda4684d ago

I tell what would sell well, if sega and Nintendo got together and released an android based device with all the back catalogue of mega drive snez and arcade games to buy in packs of 4 for 99p each.

DOOMZ4684d ago

This one actually looks good!!!

HyperBear4684d ago

Depending on the price I may pick this up. Using a Tegra 4 processor with 2GB of RAM and a controller design that looks decent and has characteristics with PS and Xbox controllers, and hopefully running on Android 4.3 with native Full HD gaming support. Sounds pretty enticing to me...

Damage Inc. Pacific Squadron WWII Review I Gamersbliss.com

Gamersbliss.com writes: "Thinking of flying into the simulation genre with Damage Inc.: Pacific Squadron? Think again! Damage Inc. (if you got the collector’s edition) is like that giant gift among a pile of smaller ones; it’s big and has cool wrapping paper, but is almost always something disappointing—like an ugly sweater! After you unpack the sweet model of the Corsair fighter (also one of the best of the available planes) and Mad Catz’s Saitek Pacific AV8R flight stick, you’ll want to don that Red Baron scarf you love so much and prepare for takeoff—in a different game."

I was hoping this game would be better >.<

Decaf_PIxel_Kat5013d ago

It would probably make for a fun drinking game.

TheGrimBunny5013d ago

I think it is probably the joystick peripheral they where trying to promote, but there are not that many games out there that may support it, so they figured they would make their own.
