Ouya planning for yearly updates for its Android-based console

Ouya

Apple and the makers of other mobile devices have trained us to grab the latest version of their devices every year. The folks behind the Ouya console hope to do the same. 
 
The Android-powered Ouya is going to come out with a new version each year, according to Ouya CEO Julie Uhrman. Ouya plans to take advantage of drops in component prices to offer quick, yearly updates in processor power and storage capacity, according to Uhrman, who spoke with Joystiq about the upcoming console.
Traditionally, console makers like Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft aim for five- to seven-year cycles between consoles. A PlayStation 3 purchased 2006 for $500 still has some life in it, and chances are that we’ll see games for the platform for at least the next year or two.
