Does anyone have any idea how the thing is doing? Official numbers seem near impossible to come by and the OUYA people themselves outright refuse to give out any information on the subject, it seems. There have been a lot of complaints though, both from users and developers, as expected.
I think what I want to know is; was I right in thinking this would be a massive, massive flop and that the thing has no place in the market? The only hints I can get at is that it has sold somewhere between 100-150k until now (a whooping 4K retail for all of August), that's not a whole lot since the June release, if true. Software sales are certainly paltry and the list of people and companies who have actually stated to have made any kind of money on this thing is a terribly quick read.
Anyone have any info here?

The Ouya isn't done just yet.
New Ouya Console will be available in 2014, along with an improved controller.
As for sales, it did sell-out on Amazon and is doing a big push into retail markets like all of Targets retail stores.
Basically as a company, they're learning, they have been climbing an up-hill battle in regards to competing with Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft, so credit is due for simply just getting this far in my opinion.
Keep in mind they don't have millions/billions for marketing, so they need to keep pulling high-profile stunts like showing the Ouya in a carpark outside of E3.

The ouya is done dude. It has no games anyone wants. Their finished for the most part. The manufacturer was just mostly immature.

(That video made me realize how awful the ouya actutally is. I'm so disgusted by it that I would rather a WII U or Vita.)
I'll take medal of duty 12 over those 100 crappy phone games bro.
