例證C：電視游戲機(jī)Ouya

????去年6月，當(dāng)游戲業(yè)資深人士朱莉?尤爾曼宣布推出這款99美元的電子游戲機(jī)時(shí),，在市場(chǎng)上引起巨大轟動(dòng),。其理念是：為那些不想掏幾百美元玩游戲的人打造一臺(tái)廉價(jià)游戲機(jī),，并設(shè)置一種容易連接、且基于安卓（Android）系統(tǒng)的開(kāi)源開(kāi)發(fā)環(huán)境,，讓那些最想省錢的草根程序員也能設(shè)計(jì)游戲,。盡管面向消費(fèi)者的正式發(fā)布會(huì)要到6月才開(kāi)，但一些成品已開(kāi)始提供給眾籌網(wǎng)站的支持者了,，而初期評(píng)價(jià)并不太好,。如果滿分為10分，科技博客Verge只給這臺(tái)游戲機(jī)3.5分,。它還寫道：“控制桿需要改進(jìn),，界面一團(tuán)糟，我還提到過(guò)這個(gè)設(shè)備沒(méi)有配套產(chǎn)品吧,？”O(jiān)uya很快做出了反應(yīng),，聲明這款預(yù)發(fā)布的硬件產(chǎn)品只是預(yù)發(fā)布的。尤爾曼則在一篇博文中解釋說(shuō),，像復(fù)雜的游戲安裝進(jìn)程這類問(wèn)題將會(huì)在明年夏季得到解決,，不過(guò)很明顯這家初創(chuàng)公司還有很多工作要做。

????當(dāng)然,，這并不表示硬件不會(huì)迎來(lái)“復(fù)興”,。大量像Pebble和Ouya這樣的公司，正在開(kāi)發(fā)最終能證明自己是革命性產(chǎn)品的硬件,。不過(guò),，所謂的“硬件復(fù)興”還有很長(zhǎng)的路要走。

????《財(cái)富》雜志（Fortune）的讀者朋友,，你怎么看這個(gè)現(xiàn)象呢,？請(qǐng)?jiān)谙旅姘l(fā)表評(píng)論。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

Exhibit C: Ouya

????The $99 home video game console spearheaded by game industry vet Julie Uhrman generated tons of buzz when it was announced last July. The idea: create a video game console for people who don't want to shell out hundreds and employ an accessible, Android-based open-source development environment so even frugal grassroots coders could put out a game. While the official consumer release isn't until June, units have already begun shipping to Kickstarter backers, and early reviews haven't been so kind. "The controller needs work, the interface is a mess, and have I mentioned there's really nothing to do with the thing?" wrote The Verge, which gave the console a mediocre 3.5 out of 10 rating. Ouya shot back, stating the pre-release hardware being sent out was just that -- pre-release -- and Uhrman clarified in a separate blog post that things like convoluted game install processes will be fixed come summer, but it's clear the startup has a lot of work to do between now and then.

????This isn't to say there won't be a hardware "reawakening," of course. Plenty of companies like Pebble and Ouya are working on hardware that could ultimately prove revolutionary. But the "hardware renaissance" has some way to go yet.
