Ouya signs Chinese distribution agreement

Troubled microconsole Ouya is making a push for the Asian market through a new partnership with Xiaomi Inc, a Chinese smartphone manufactuer.

Ouya CEO Julie Uhrman toldReutersthat while details are still being finalised, it’s likely that the device will get a dedicated channel on Xiami’s streaming boxes and smart TVs, allowing gamers to buy and download Ouya’s offering of independently developed titles.

Xiaomi is also expected to help market Ouya games in the region. Revenues will also be shared between Ouya, Xiaomi and games developers.
