The OUYA

Looking at the performance numbers for it, it might be best to wait for the next hardware refresh. Brand new phones are blowing this thing out of the water. It still runs current android games fine, but a couple years from now it might be dragging. Time will tell I guess.
The Ouya isn't meant to compete with the current crop of phones anyway. Basic 3D and good 2D for silly popcorn games is all they were really targeting, and those developers that wanted to push the envelope can get quite good perfromance out of it, but it's meant to fill in the gap between expensive high end machines (your phone still cost $400, or a monthly fee of more than $30/mo) and toy game machines.
Whether consumers want that gap filled or not is going to be interesting.

Phones also have 2 cameras, a touch screen, gps, cell chips, batteries, low power low heat chips, etc. I know there's no way it can compete with newly released phones, but the new phones are clocking in at around twice as fast as this. Even last years phones are beating it. I know the controller adds a good chunk of money to it, but it's just a tad disappointing.
