But CEO expects to see a few developers making $1 million by the end of the year
Just 27 per cent of Ouya owners have paid for a game on the micro-console, company CEO Julie Uhrman has revealed.
Speaking to The Verge, Uhrman said despite the low number, the figure was actually significant for a console focused on free gaming.
Every developer who makes a title for the Ouya must offer some form of free play, whether that is through the free-to-play model or a demo of the gameplay.
Uhrman said 13 of the console's top 20 grossing apps had recorded a monetisation rate of eight per cent, that is, consumers upgrading from free to paid.
Despite the low sales so far, the Ouya CEO remained confident the console would see a few developers make their first million dollars by the end of the year.
