AAA titles? This device is about "disruption". By default that means it won't get the very best games out there, but that's irrelevant. Did iOS have AAA title games in the first few years? Can you even say it does now? And does it matter that it doesn't? Because I don't see it.

I kinda agree with your point, however I don't think you picked a good example. The iPhone and iFriends were not sold as gaming devices (at least in the beginning, and even now it's not their main function).

The other "open source" consoles I know of were handheld (gp2x, pandora, etc...). It was a niche market, mostly for emulation with some homebrews. None of them really "disrupted" anything.

Of course, the ouya's main gambit is the android market, we'll see if it'll give them enough momentum to make it.
