Ballsy Chinese Console Rips Off Both The PS4 And Xbox One

Ballsy Chinese Console Rips Off Both The PS4 And Xbox One

Right now on China’s version of Kickstarter, you can back a console called the OUYE. If you ever wanted a console that looked like a PS4 but had a controller like the Xbox One, it’s for you!

Kidding, it’s garbage. It’s a hunk of copyright-infringing plastic that, judging from the games on show (and the price, seeing as you can pick one up for around $US100), looks like it’s running on some modified version of Android.

We’ve seen some ballsy knock-offs coming out of China over the years, but this one’s balls are particularly brassy.

For comparison, here’s the PS4 versus the OUYE:

(Note how the OUYE still manages to rip off the Xbox One here by including the top grill from Microsoft’s console).

And here’s the Xbox One controller versus the OUYE controller:

Slightly less brazen, given the buttons in the centre in place of the Xbox “orb”, but still.

As a reminder, China has recently began softening its ban on actual foreign video game consoles.
