$79 sounds like a pretty good price for such a small console, and I like that the console fits in the controller when you are not playing with it, so it is easy to carry around, and could be plug in quickly instead of carrying a huge box in a bag.

This looks like a great console for playing emulator games from the Snes, Sega genesis, and Gameboy + Android games with controller controls.

The console seems pretty fast for a $79 small console. The controller looks pretty good.
 
This console will also be good for Homebrew, Independant, and hobbyist game makers who make games to sell, or share for free to get attention for making fun games to latter sell the game to a bigger company like EA, Zynga, Disney or Popcap.
 
I probably get the Ouya as well because there seems to be more games coming out for it, and it would have cloud gaming via Onlive, and better emulator support.

I think this console would do better as a portable handheld console like the Nintendo 3DS XL if a case maker makes an affordable case which holds the small console, and controller in a case with a rectangular battery powered TV on top, and the console and controller which also gets power from the battery in the case on the bottom.

When you are at home, you can take out the controller, and console from the case, and plug the console into a TV, to play game on the TV.
