Ouya, a console project that has so far raised over $9 million through their Kickstart project may just see a retail life if things go well. Joystiq is reporting that CEO of GameStop, J. Paul Raines, has today talked about future plans for the Ouya console and wanting to "be a part of any console launch in the future".

While there aren't any concrete plans to go out and be able to pre-order the Android based console tomorrow, Raines was quite enthusiastic about the product, and especially the idea of an open-source environment.

"Here's the exciting thing that's happening: if you look at the power of the processor like the Tegra 3 or the x86 stuff that's coming on Windows tablets, you've got a processor now and graphics capability that are really exciting," he said.

"There will be games developed for that stuff. So you're going to see more of these open source type products, and we will be right in the middle of all of it."

Raines was eager to point out in the interview with Joystiq that the new console would easily relate to the company's recent sales of the Android based Google Nexus 7 tablet, something they are eager to push out.

The Ouya is currently under development and will be available sometime in 2013. You can check out their official website which also offers a chance to pre-order if you missed out initially.
