GameStop's CEO J. Paul Raines told Joystiq, on Friday, that there is no official announcement that GameStop will carry the Ouya. However, he stated:



"We will be a part of any console launch in the future," saying "We think Ouya's cool. We love the idea of open-source components. Everything we've read is great."



It is safe to assume if the Ouya works out GameStop will be selling it.

When talking to Joystiq, Raines related the Ouya to the Google Nexus 7 tablet. GameStop currently sells the Google Nexus 7 tablet therefore Raines statements could be read into. Perhaps he is hinting that the Ouya will be sold at GameStop when saying:



"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."



The Ouya is set to release in March 2013 with Kickstarter backers receiving the console prior to its official release. To read more about the Ouya check out NoobFeed's feature.
