Outrage over £45 PlayStation 4 rip off console

The PS4 look-alike goes costs just £45

CHEEKY Chinese wannabes are selling a new games console that's a perfect cross between a Playstation 4 and Xbox One.

 

The Ouye boasts a near PS4 frame with an Xbox style controller and is a "blatant copyright infringement". 

Chinese firms regularly try to make their own cheaper versions of big technology in a bid to earn a fast buck in their home country. 

But this new machine, which only has an Android operating system in it, takes the biscuit. 

The Micro Console being developed by a Shenzhen company which is currently looking for investment to bring it to mass market across China. 

The firm boasts it took them a year and three months to get this product ready to ship and they spent “6 months on the unique design," according to a translation on Kotaku. 

 

How the real PS4 looks

It’s garbage it’s a hunk of copyright-infringing plastic

Luke Plunkett, at Kotaku, said: "It’s garbage. "It’s a hunk of copyright-infringing plastic that, judging from the games on show (and the price, seeing as you can pick one up for around $100), looks like it’s running on some modified version of Android.

"We’ve seen some ballsy knock-offs coming out of China over the years, but this one’s balls are particularly brassy."

The console is expected to cost around $70 to buy with one controller and a kickstarter fundraising campaign starts shortly aiming to raise $15,000. 

The console has had negative feedback from Chinese gamers because it's such a rip off of the PS4 and Xbox One
