Chinese Develops Super Console That Looks Like PS4 and Xbox One

One Chinese company developed a "super console" that looks like a combination of the Playstation 4 and Xbox One. The super console named "OUYE" seem to be the console of the generation as the Chinese company tries to create the ultimate gaming hybrid.

The device has a black, sporting a design similar to the PlayStation 4 with a controller that looks like that of the Xbox One. However, a closer look to this new device reveals that any gamer who dreams of a "super console" will really be shattered in disappointment.

Unlike the Playstation 4 and Xbox One which are powered with at least 8 cores of high-powered processors, the OUYE console is only ran by a version of Google's mobile Android operating system.

This means that instead of playing Tomb Raider, this console is only capable of running android games such as Temple Run. On the positive side, OUYE users can have the chance to play thousands of apps and games that can be downloaded on the internet.

Other specifications of the console includes 2GB of DDR3 RAM and 16GB flash storage. With this kind of specs, it is certain that the machine can easily be beaten by most of the top-end smartphones available worldwide.

Apparently, the said console does not meet the gamers' expectations and standards. The Chinese company purpose to sell the console not for the developers own profit but for charitable purposes.

Currently, the OUYE is raising funds in a certain Chinese funding platform equivalent to Kickstarter. Perhaps, copying several design trademarks may be one of their strategies to sell their consoles efficiently.

According to the gaming site Kotaku, the gaming console will be sold for around $70 (£45). This is if it can manage to hit the $15,000 (£9,600) funding target.

The group who created the console stated that it took them 6 months to plan and create the "unique" design.
