It's fascinating to me that so many people think of the Ouya as a potential rival to PS/360 - I don't. I see it as a completely different beast.
Funny, from Day 1, I've always looked at the Ouya as a cheaper Boxee Box that also plays some games as gravy.
If it can do MAME or Final Burn (which I expect some enterprising hackers will have made a reality by the time Ouya's available for the masses), even better.
I'll probably pick one up when it's released to play videos and music, and hopefully there are some good games on it, especially if that Namco-Bandai relationship turns out to be real. If the games all suck, it's no loss, because I'll still have XBMC. If the Ouya team's paying attention, they'll also make sure Netflix is available on day one too.
