Funds from venture capital firms come as $99 Android-powered console delayed to June 25; EA veteran joins board of directors.

 

Ouya today announced that it has raised $15 million in new funding, as the $99 Android-powered console has been delayed to June 25. The extra money comes from venture capital firms and will be used to support the platform's development community and "meet increased demand" for the system's impending launch, originally slated for June 4.

Venture capital funding was led by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers (KPCB), with support from the Mayfield Fund, Nvidia, Shasta Ventures, and Occam Partners.

The $15 million in new funding piles on top of the $8.6 million raised through Ouya's original Kickstarter campaign last year. According to the company, today's announcement of venture capital funding "validates" the company's business strategy.

"We want Ouya to be here for a long time to come," Ouya founder Julie Uhrman said in a statement. "The message is clear: people want Ouya. We first heard this from Kickstarter backers who provided more than $8 million to help us build Ouya, then from over 12,000 developers who have registered to make an Ouya game, next from retailers who are carrying Ouya online and soon on store shelves, and now from top pioneering investors."

Ouya also announced today that industry veteran Bing Gordon, who served as chief creative officer at Electronic Arts for ten years, has joined the company's board of directors. He will advise the company as it ramps up its development community and the platform releases to retail. Gordon also serves on the board of directors at Amazon and Zynga, among others.

The Ouya launches publicly on June 25 at Amazon, Best Buy, GAME, GameStop, and Target, as well as through the Ouya online store. Additional controllers can be purchased for $50.

The mobile version of Minecraft has hit 10 million sales.

 

The Minecraft franchise continues to break its own records, with Minecraft: Pocket Edition recently hitting 10 million sales.

The announcement was made on the Mojang website. The post also contained news concerning upcoming content for the Pocket Edition. Menu tweaks, the Minecraft Realms cloud service, and buckets are amongst the new features mentioned.

The sandbox adventure game is available on iOS, Android, Xbox 360, PC, Mac, and Linux, and has sold over 17.5 million copies across all platforms.

Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition sold 400,000 copies on launch day, recouping development costs in just one hour. The game went on to sell a total of 1 million copies within the next four days, and knocked Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 from the top of the Xbox Live activity chart for one week in October 2012.

The PC version of Minecraft broke the 10 million sales mark in April this year, a figure which includes the Windows, Mac, and Linux versions of the game. Developer Mojang has said it will consider porting the game to the PlayStation once the exclusivity contract with Microsoft finishes, although it was not specified which console.
