Razer is in talks to acquire Android microconsole maker Ouya

Ouya is up for sale. And Razer, the gaming peripheral maker with a microconsole of its own on the horizon, is in advanced talks to purchase the company for something in the $10 million range, GamesBeat has learned from a reliable source.

Debt holders triggered the sale, the source told us, and it would cost somewhere around $10 million to buy out those debt holders. Razer sent a statement to GamesBeat earlier this morning that threw its support behind Ouya but didn’t verify or deny that the company — which is preparing to launch its own Forge microconsole — was in pursuit of the struggling platform-holder, as TechCrunch reported this morning.
