Well, Ouya was a disaster, they should probably not include it in third place. I did not backed them, I can predict how projects will go very soon, probably because of my professional experience. I backed some very interesting problems not mentioned that I am very happy with(more than 100 projects backed so far!!). Why? Just because they raised more money. Kickstarter needs to include some feedback from customers, so they know which ones went better overall, not just how they started.

Ouya has worked great for me and my friends, who play it pretty much anytime there are more than 2 of us hanging around.

Sometimes, it seems like most of the people declaring the Ouya a disaster have never touched one. My son and I play it more than Xbox 360 and Wii U combined. It's a perfect little party console for quirky indie titles.

Why a disaster?

  The company is bleeding money (their sales ranking on Amazon, for example, is typically right below a video cable compatible with the N64), has hardly attracted any quality devs, and the product had many hardware issues(faulty controllers, overheating). I believe there are still early kickstarter backers that haven't received consoles despite the claims of the Ouya company. Then we can consider their PR (see: "redtube," "GET SOME" in the context of cancer, and their poorly thought out commercial that they quickly tried to disavow). Then their customer service: nonexistent, you basically have to complain publicly and badmouth them in order to get any response. And really, we live in a world where everyone owns a computer and there is no shortage of free quirky indie PC games (most or all of which will be of higher quality than what you'll find on the Ouya store).
