Project Update #25: OUYA: Shippin' Update
Backer_white For backers only, Posted by OUYA Like
Hey Everyone,
Before we jump into this week’s update, I want to respond to a common question we’ve heard a lot since last Friday’s post.
The question, as a lot of you have asked -- most recently by ‘Chris Kraft’ and ‘jeremy s’ on our Kickstarter page, is:
“Will early backers receive their consoles before OUYA becomes available in retail?”
The answer is Yes -- our commitment to early backers from the beginning was, if you support us and believe in our idea, we will support you.
Nothing has changed since we made that promise. We will remain focused on delivering OUYA to you, and we will continue to update you every step of the way until every early backer unit has shipped. Period.
Chris and Jeremy -- hopefully that helps to answer your question and thanks for continuing to support us as we build the OUYA vision into a reality.
As for this week’s progress...
We successfully eclipsed 50 percent of units shipped and remain ahead of schedule to complete all shipments by the end of May
This completed our first production run, and now our tools are all operating as we intended to reach our weekly max capacity
Limited edition consoles began rolling off production lines
International shipments were slowed slightly due to an issue identified with the power adapter (note: the issue was caught prior to production and has since been resolved -- these are expected to significantly increase next week as a result).
Here’s a look at the latest weekly numbers:
Thanks again for everyone’s ongoing support and keep the questions and feedback coming.
Have a great Cinco de Mayo everyone!
Julie
