Ouya Will be the Size of a Rubik’s Cube
Ouya, the Kickstarter smash, is a hit among almost everybody who has seen it. The Android-based gaming console is supposed to revolutionize the gaming industry. In addition, it may be the smallest console to date. Instead of only being slim, such as older Playstations, the device will only be about the size of a Rubik’s Cube. For a console with as much capability as the developers claim, that’s stunning.
Ouya, themselves, claim the device will be able to fit virtually anywhere in a room or even tossed in a backpack for easy portability. Gone are those days of leaving your saved game behind or not being able to bring your games at all. Play anytime and anywhere you have a Television available. After all, we do ”<3 games on a TV.”
Not really all that surprising. Look at all of these Android "mini PC"s that the Chinese wholesalers are so fond of - they're pretty decent, at least spec-wise, and most of them are hardly bigger than a thumbdrive:

All the Ouya's case really needs to do is provide room for ports (A/V, USB, power), provide ventilation (yeah, it's a mobile chipset, but it's a high-end overclocked mobile chipset, IIRC), and look stylish. A Rubik's Cube sized box should be capable of all of the above.
