What you see above is not a Xbox One controller next to a PlayStation 4, but a new Android microconsole dubbed 'Ouye' that has recently popped up on a crowdfunding site.
While imitation is sometimes considered the highest form of flattery,I dont think the folks at Microsoft and Sony will feel the love if they (or their lawyers) get a chance to see this Android microconsole. The body of the console is all too familiar with the a near identical look to the PlayStation 4 with the exception of the borrowed ventilation slits from the Xbox One. The console is paired with a equally familiar looking controller that pays a heavy homage to the Xbox One counterpart.
While the future of the microconsole is uncertain, the 'Ouye' does pack some power with an Allwinner octa-core A80 with a PowerVR G6230 GPU, 2GB RAM, 16GB of storage with expansion via microSD, ethernet, a USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0 port. The console starts at around 70$ USD.
