The problem with having a niche market of people who buy your system because it is cheap is that it's not a particularly profitable thing for developers to target compared to a more serious console where you can charge $50 for a game or a smartphone/tablet where you make your money by selling many copies. So all of the best games end up being ported to other platforms anyway, which reduces the incentive to buy an Ouya unless you have the might to lock developers into exclusive deals.
