Since we’re still taking time to look back this week, we thought it’d be fun to take a look at some of the headlines from the past! Our first blast from the past: the Ouya! I wonder: how many people these days even remember the Ouya? At one point it was going to be the console that was going to revolutionize the console market! But, it didn’t. Not surprising in hindsight, but it definitely encouraged a lot of wishful thinking at the time. Anyway, let’s check out of the old news, eh?

News Byte: The Ouya Slated to be in Target Stores Nationwide
The little game system that could, the Ouya, will soon be available in Target stores nationwide. Having been only available in select stores, this move gives the game system a national identity. Is this what the Ouya needs to succeed? Or is it doomed to a fate worse than being placed among a store’s “heavily discounted” items?

Oh man, I remember the Ouya! It did admittedly have a lot of potential. Another bizarre machine was the Steam Machine.
