Chinese e-commerce giant partners with Ouya Inc.
Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba has invested $10 million in the Android-based Ouya microconsole. According to a report on the Wall Street Journal, Alibaba has partnered with Ouya Inc. to discuss a plan that will incorporate the Ouya's software into Alibaba's own "set top-box."
Reports of Ouya entering the Chinese market surfaced in September last year, with allegations stating that the company had partnered with smartphone giant Xiaomi Inc to bring Ouya games to Xiaomi's streaming boxes and smart TVs.

Wow, $10 million dollars of investment money from Alibaba. Hopefully, this money be used for making more games, designing the Ouya 2 with the Nvidia Tegra K1 or faster chip, and a powerful Ouya handheld in the works.
I think a small affordable console like the Ouya in China could do well because there are a lot of poor workers in China who only get paid a few dollars a day, so they can't afford some of the better consoles like Wii U, Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, and PS3. Plus, the Ouya uses less electricity, so the Ouya won't increase the Electricity bill as much as a Xbox One, PS4, 360, Wii U, and PS3 which uses a lot more electricity than the Ouya.
Poor people in China may also has less space in their home for a big console like the PS4, Xbox One, etc compared to the size of an Ouya which is the size of a small cup.
