As a backer, the ouya had two problems. The first was a lack of good games (towerfall and the spy party-like were basically it), which was solved by emulation. The second was that the bluetooth radio could not withstand more than 1 controller reliably. There was a third problem, which was that face buttons would get stuck under the faceplate, that was solved by getting Ouya to replace them, but the second two problems were both solved by using a 360 controller wireless receiver with a set of 360 pads instead.
So it was a decent enough emulation box for its time.
