I like that the Mad Catz MOJO console uses the official Google Play App store, and Amazon App stores, so the console does not locks you into a custum app stores, and does not block app stores like Play, Amazon, Getjar, 1Mobile, and others, so there are many stores which you can get your games from multiple stores for different prices since Amazon, and Play sometimes have free and sales on paid games.

The controller and console looks good. I read it would use a Tegra 4 which is one of the fastest Android compatible chips which are currently out, and the price of the console will be in the $99 price range like the Ouya.

The controller looks like a ripoff of the Xbox 360 controller combined with the Onlive controller. And I'm not really fond of the 360 controller.

Though mad catz, in my experience, has produced really terrible quality controllers so I wouldn't put much stock into this console (and especially controller) being a quality production. I could be wrong, they could have improved quality in the last few years (or maybe I just got bad luck with their controllers before). But I wouldn't really be too confident putting down over 100$ for a console from a maker where I've had a ton of bad luck with.

And honestly, do we really need yet another Android-powered console for playing games? It's not really offering much of anything new or innovative over other various Android-based consoles (that we know of right now).

I like using the Xbox 360 controller. At least, it is a familiar design, so there is no learning curve for a new controller layout.

Madcatz made the Rockband guitar hero controllers, and drums which are used by many Rockband fans. Their Street fighter Arcade Fight joystick controllers are one of the best fighting sticks for PS3, 360, etc.

Their PC Gaming mice, Gaming keyboards, and Gaming Tritton headsets are pretty good.

MadCatz improved its quality over the past few years. They have a 360, and PS3 controllers which is Officially Licensed by the Major League Gaming Pro Circuit

MOJO is investigating to use Tegra 4 CPU/GPU with 72 graphics-dedicated cores — six times the number of cores found on the Tegra 3. The chip can allegedly fuel resolutions of up to 2560 x 1600 and 1080p at 120Hz. The speed of the Tegra 4 can be clocked up to 2.3 GHz.

Mojo will also not lock you into a closed app store like Ouya, Gamestick, or Gamepop which uses a proprietary closed app store where the games you buy for Ouya, Gamestick, and Gamepop are not transferrable to other consoles like Nvidia shield, or your smartphone or tablet because Ouya, and Gamestick both used a closed games store rather than Amazon, and Google Play App store.

With Mojo you can use your existing Google Play, or Amazon App store account to download, and play games and apps which you already bought or downloaded for free.

For games which require a touchscreen, and have no controller support like Dead Trigger, you can use any USB mouse to play games like Angry Birds, Canabalt HD, and Fruit Ninja.

Base on the video, the console will also work with other Bluetooth Controllers like the Moga Bluetooth Controller.
