Android-based console

  Android-based console, Ultra-portable             GameStick.

Ouya-competitor Android based portable gaming device, GameStick, finally has a release date. The console is set to hit stores on October 29 all over the world. In the UK, it will cost £79.99 (Rs 8,044 approx), whereas North Americans will find it for $79.99 (Rs 5,100 approx), according to Eurogamer.
The GameStick was made as a result of a successful Kickstarter campaign. While the Ouya’s USP has been indie games, the GameStick has a different one altogether—portability. It will be able to play Android games and users can also sideload apps manually to get more functionality out of it.

A direct competitor to Ouya, the GameStick offers a more portable solution to the Android console trend, packing an HDMI dongle right into the controller. Priced at $80 in North America and £80 in the UK, GameStick will be available in brick-and-mortar stores like GameStop, as well as online via Amazon.

But during an interview with Gamasutra, PlayJam CEO Jasper Smith gave the impression the company is in talks to move its GameStick service onto other microconsoles and connected devices like Smart TVs.

"Ultimately, what we want to do is plug GameStick's network into as many other TV-relevant devices as possible," said Smith. "For our developer network to get value out of what we're doing, we need to be serving tens of millions of devices--and however successful we are with selling GameStick, we're unlikely to sell tens of millions of them in the next few years."

Essentially, PlayJam would also like to position itself as a game publisher and has already struck a deal with a "rather large company" planning to release its own microconsole. Specifics about the deal are unavailable.
