The Ouya Kickstarter campaign raised $8,596,475, finishing at 904 percent of its original $950,000 goal. It became the fifth-highest earning Kickstarter project in the website's history at the time. The campaign closed on the 9th of August 2012.
Julie Uhrman founded the Ouya project in 2012 through her company Boxer8 Inc., based in Santa Monica, California. She brought in designer Yves Behar for industrial design and Muffi Ghadiali as VP of Product Management to lead the engineering team.
The Ouya sold roughly 200,000 units in total, with first-month sales described by NPD Group as "relatively light". Game developers did not embrace the platform in significant numbers, and incentive programs like the Free the Games Fund were plagued by fraud allegations. Ouya Inc. eventually failed to renegotiate its debt, forcing a sale to Razer in 2015.
Razer announced on the 21st of May 2019 that Ouya online accounts and services would be discontinued on the 25th of June 2019. The hardware had been discontinued in July 2015 when Razer acquired Ouya's software assets.
The Free the Games Fund matched developer Kickstarter campaigns dollar-for-dollar if they raised $50,000 and agreed to six months of Ouya exclusivity. Commentators found evidence that the first qualifying campaigns used fake or duplicate backers to inflate pledge totals. Kickstarter suspended funding for one game, Elementary My Dear Holmes, and a third project was removed from the fund after admitting a developer's relative had artificially boosted its backing.
The Ouya ran on an Nvidia Tegra 3 chip with four ARM Cortex-A9 cores at 1.7 GHz, 1 GB of DDR3 RAM, and 8 GB of internal storage. It measured 75 x 75 x 82 mm and weighed 300 grams, connecting to a TV via HDMI and drawing just 4.5 watts during gameplay.
