The only reason the Xbox broke Sony's strangle hold on the console market is because right from the off they were paying to dollar to get exclusives for themselves and persuading other publishers to not give exclusives to Sony.
The only reason the Wii got in there at all is because it's one big gimmick that appeals to non-gamers (i.e. parents).
So how is the Ouya going to muscle it's way in?
It doesn't have the backing or a killer gimmick... It's on an open source platform - that's it, that's it's "thing". Whoop-de-doo. So why don't PC gamers all migrate to Linux? Oh yeah, that's right, because it doesn't have a huge catalogue of games.
The MAIN reason sony, microsoft and even nintendo wont give a shit is because in essence it will be in direct competition with, not the consoles themselves, but Xbox marketplace, ps3 store, wiiware and Steam.
Doesn't stand a chance.
