I think this is a good decision by Ouya since a lot of people already own Google Android compatible devices like settop boxes, smartphones, and tablets which also support external Bluetooth gamepad controllers like the Moga Pro Controller.

Ouya should also partner with Amazon Fire TV, Steam, Gamepop, Gamestick, Google Android TV, Roku and Apple TV to promote their games, so more gamers can find them, and play them.
