Ouya is up for sale and it sounds like Razer could be interested in buying.

According to VentureBeat, a "reliable source" says that Razer is currently in talks to purchase the microconsole company for somewhere in the $10 million dollar range.

Ouya has a library of over 1,124 Android games and has been used by over 40,000 developers. At CES 2015 earlier this year, Razer revealed Forge TV, its own Android-powered microconsole, so the appeal of Ouya to Razer isn't too mysterious.

Razer spoke positively about Ouya in a statement to GamesBeat, but did not confirm the rumor of its acquiring Ouya.

Back in April, we wrote about a leaked report that revealed Ouya was up for sale to alleviate its debt. Do you think Razer is a suitable buyer?

Anyone else read it like "Oh ya, is up for sale..."

Sounds like an afterthought product.

When I read anything of the Ouya, this picture always jumps to mind...





They had a good platform to do something with the console, but failed dismally, and I think this is just dead weight Razor is buying for some patent related technology to use in one of their products

i think Razor is overpaying for Ouya by about $9,999,999.
