Disruptive Ouya games console shipped to first supporters

A new games console which industry experts say could disrupt the industry has begun shipping to customers. The Ouya costs $99 (£65) and runs on Google’s Android operating system.
 
Games on the system will be a fraction of the cost of traditional console games, more comparable to those found on mobiles and tablets. However, it may struggle to muscle in on a market dominated by big players such as PlayStation and Xbox, one analyst predicted.
 
The Ouya was financed using crowdfunding website Kickstarter, where it attracted over $8m (£5.3m) in funding from 63,416 backers.
 
The company has begun sending out consoles to the first supporters of the project – while other interested gamers can pre-order the device.
