Wonders of Chinese design: game console OUYE

Today, it is difficult for anyone to surprise with a huge variety of Chinese fakes for popular global brands. Enterprising residents of the Celestial Empire copy and clone everything their talented hands reach. And I dare say that sometimes these overt forgery and "zakos" can not help but arouse a sincere smile. When I first saw China's response to the game consoles of Western and Japanese manufacturers, I smiled involuntarily.

In China, there is its own kraudfanding portal, led by the company JD Finance. It is on its pages appeared the OUYE game console project. And it would be completely unremarkable, if not for one simple detail: the console not only brazenly plays the name of another device that has gained popularity thanks to crowdfinding (OUYA is meant), but also outwardly completely lapped out with the development of Sony and Microsoft .

Of course, this console can not launch games from PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, as it runs under the operating system Android. But the body of it combines the shape of the PS4 and ventilation holes, like the Xbox One, and it's difficult to distinguish the game controller from the one that comes with the new Microsoft console. Developed a prefix company Shenzhen, engaged in the production of various electronics.

According to the creators of the OUYE console, in terms of iron, it significantly exceeds OUYA, and sales are scheduled for the end of 2016. Later this month they plan to create an English-language page of the project on the Kickstarter portal. The final cost of OUYE will be about $ 70. But this you should like: the developers spent six months to develop a unique design for their console. The unique. Yes.

OUYE announced the Chinese users very unexpectedly: they criticized the developers for so impudent and crude copying of others' developments. Yes, apparently, even in China there are some reasonable limits of tolerance in terms of stealing someone else's intellectual property. We have not heard the views of Sony and Microsoft about this "incredible Chinese console", but I think they are unlikely to be pleased that a potential buyer might confuse their consoles with this Chinese counterfeit.
