One has to remember, as John Carmack mentioned in his 2012 QuakeCon Keynote that Occulus Rift is for now an experimental device and nowhere near a finished/to be mainstream diffused product yet, and it's not 5 to 10 years before it is.
In fact, comparing both devices is comparing incomparable things.
Now comparing the kickstarter campaigns can be done in the kickstarter only perspective, but requires to forget about the product being "kickstarted".
I'm curious about OUYA, and though still doubtful but not excited.
Could the OUYA be the first expected disappointing "after-campaign" ?
Some of the negative-critics that might have been formulated against the OUYA imply it could (should ?) be.
(What I mean is that amongst the many campaigns that have been funded so far on kickstarter, some will fail/deliver a product that will disappoint the funders. And this will impact the image/hype of kickstarter in the mainstream)
Wait and see now.
They gave another opportunity to everyone who missed the kickstarter page, they can pre-order a console by $ 109
This is my first time to pledge
