Here's my problem with it: I have an iPhone, an Android tablet, a gaming PC, and consoles. I don't play the same games on my phone that I play on my consoles or PC. They're different experiences. I expect different game experiences from an Xbox 360 than my PC.
Unfortunately, the perception that I have is that that when this system is released, it's going to be mostly ports of existing Android games.
The problem is that you shouldn't be getting those games for the system. They were designed for touchscreens, not touchpads. They weren't designed for controllers, and almost none of them actually have multiplayer. Canalbolt, which is the featured "Play on your TV" image, is just a one-button runner. Not anything I want to play on a TV.
So this means that for the OUYA to really succeed, they need games that are for the OUYA. They shouldn't be be straight ports of Android games. They should be unique experiences that utilize the OUYA's unique control scheme. Success for the system is entirely dependent on the software available on it, and I just don't see that happening, especially with the short release cycle.
