The problem with that (for this first generation; OUYA, GameStick et al.) is that the hardware isn't comparable to the WiiU. When they're released in the next few months, and even right now, most high end phones out-spec them. The article points out that the WiiU would be comparable to an iPad 4, which is well behind what any of the announced Android consoles are aiming for. They're generally going for the 'we can use last years hardware and sell it cheap' angle, rather than a AAA console experience. Perhaps when/if this first round of consoles prove the concept, a second generation high-powered Android consoles will appear.
