Knock Off Chinese Console Pirates 3 Consoles In One Fell Swoop

Over in China, piracy is pretty huge and if you’ve ever been to the country, you know that getting a fake branded wallet or handbag or a watch is pretty easy. That being said, it seems that over in China, one company has decided to try and pirate three consoles at once. Dubbed the OUYE, you can see for yourself where they might have gotten the inspiration from.

The name itself is obviously a variation on the Android-powered console the OUYA. Its design is reminiscent of the PlayStation 4 with the grills lifted from the Xbox One. Its controller is also very similar to that of the Xbox One with some very minor changes. Now according to a Kotaku reader, he has pointed out that the console, just like the OUYA, will also be powered by Android.

It is expected to be slightly more powerful than the OUYA but its specs will still be a bit dated. It is also said to be planning for a launch on a crowdfunding platform where its creators are hoping to raise $15,000. The price of the console has also been estimated to be around $70, making it extremely affordable.

It also seems that Chinese netizens aren’t too pleased about the console due to its blatant knock off of various consoles. Interestingly enough despite the very obvious copy of well-known consoles, the company claims to have spent a whopping 6 months on the product design which we have to admit we are finding a very hard time believing.
