Perfect for indie games (Score 1)

A lot of the the new, popular indie games available aren't exactly taxing on system requirements. Granted some of them could stand a bit of optimization, but having a common framework and a fixed hardware target (exacly what the Ouya provides) really will help there

Ouya could also be a way for good indie games to get noticed in the first place, due to having less competition. With Google Play having almost a million apps already, it's hard for the developers to get their games discovered among all those thousands of tower defense clones and such, unless they can afford some real marketing.

Maybe with Ouya many niche genres such as turn-based strategy games (a genre that has completely been overrun by real-time clickfest games) could flourish again. I've been toying with the idea of porting my hex strategy game Populus Romanus and its successor to Ouya, but haven't taken a look yet how much the different control method would need changes in the application, compared to the ordinary Android touch interface.
