Darvond: My bets are firmly hedged on Ouya 2.0, but worse.
Also, I get a strong impression that the floor engineers knew there were obvious alarming issues/it would be a grand failure, but the head honcho wanted it released, damn the torpedoes.
What I think Alphabet/Google could have done instead is taken the money from this worthless project and used it to invest in fiber optics, even if it meant deploying people to lay it by hand.
Honestly, recepetion seems to be pretty good so far. At least technically, the input lag appears to be at a level where a lot of people don't notice the difference anymore. Granted they're testing this with D2/RDR2 mostly which probably have a lot of input lag on their own already. At least with a controller. Mouse/Keyboard on the Chrome browser version still seems to be a mixed bag.
But it's strongly hinting that, if you have a good connection, the tech's there to be able to do it properly. I'm just absolutely not enticed by their business model.
