Remember Ouya? I distinctly recall visiting E3 2013 and being excited to visit the Ouya stand which included a giant outdoor setup to show off the crowdfunding wonder that was the Ouya Android gaming console. Two years on, the name Ouya has all but faded into obscurity (as has the industry of Android game consoles) but they’re going to make headlines once more. According to reports, Ouya is currently in talks with PC-peripheral maker, Razer, to get acquired, allegedly for a sum in the region of $10 million.
Razer, who is well known in the PC gaming industry, could be looking for an outlet to diversify its portfolio and finally branch out of PC gaming – a cheap Android gaming console company does make sense in this respect. However, it could be a hard sell as Razer would have to single-handedly revive the Android game console industry, and Ouya is additionally trying to make a deal where all its employees are kept on. We’ll have to keep tabs on this one as gaming in Android could take an interesting turn if this deal pans out.
What do you think about Ouya possibly getting acquired by Razer? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
