Current gen smartphones are more powerful and coupled with an HDMI cable and a bluetooth controller (from the PS3 for example) offer the same thing plus are portable. Ouya is all about its own Store and ecosystem, games built for their system/controller etc and also its low price point. I still think it will have a hard time.

Current gen smartphones are 3x more expensive once you add a game controller. That's a pretty massive difference in market.

true, but the ouya target demographic likely has a smartphone anyway. Most of the mass market will probably never hear about the Ouya.
