The <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.wsj.com\/digits\/2013\/05\/09\/ouya-a-kickstarter-backed-android-game-console-just-raised-15-million\/\">Wall Street Journal<\/a> interviewed CEO Julie Uhrman for details about the new funding.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The money&#8217;s going to be used predominantly for two things: one is to support game development. We&#8217;d love to bring exclusive titles to OUYA. We announced an exclusive game from Airtight Games last week, we have others coming from Tripwire Interactive and high-profile games from high-profile independent games like Fez from Phil Fish. Tim Schafer&#8217;s DoubleFine is bringing &#8216;A Broken Age,&#8217; so it&#8217;ll allow us to do more of those things.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The second is to support demand. We&#8217;ve seen incredible demand from retail and from the website. Obviously it depends on the retailer. It&#8217;s gonna be no different than what any other product.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>OUYA also announced that although some early backer units were shipped, the official launch date of the console has been pushed back to June 25th to fix controller manufacturing issues. The OUYA initially created waves by raising over $8 million in its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/ouya\/ouya-a-new-kind-of-video-game-console\">Kickstarter<\/a> funding when the company had only asked for $950K.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1684,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[34,41],"class_list":["post-21482","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-kickstarter","tag-ouya"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
