A brief history of Ouya from Wikipedia

Ouya was announced on July 3, 2012 as a new home video game console, made by a team of experts, and led by the CEO of Boxer8, Julie Uhrman. On July 10, Ouya started a Kickstarter campaign to gauge how many people were interested in the project. Boxer8 confirmed having a working prototype with in-progress software and user interface. Boxer8 is expected to provide their own Ouya store for apps and games. The prototype runs on Android 4.0. It featured many high-end specs, and a price tag of $99 ($95 for 1000 "early birds" to the Kickstarter campaign). The Kickstarter fundraising goal was raised within 8 hours (and continues to increase as more models are made available at various funding levels). According to Kickstarter, in reaching its goal, Ouya holds the record for best first day performance of any project hosted to date. Within the first 24 hours the project attracted one backer every 5.59 seconds. Ouya became the eighth project in Kickstarter history to raise more than a million dollars, and then became the most quickly funded project on Kickstarter to reach one million dollars.
The Ouya Kickstarter page featured an introduction video, which explained various aspects of the console, showcased the process of designing of the 3" touchpad-sporting controller, and gave viewers a glimpse of the motherboard. It also presented the first looks of the console's game store, showing several games from indie developers who had supported and shown interest in Ouya. Many developers had shown interest as far back as seven months prior to the Ouya's announcement. Potential games on the new platform include Minecraft, Canabalt, and Triple Town.
On July 19, 2012, Robert Bowling, former Creative Strategist at Infinity Ward, announced in a blog post and through an update on the Ouya Kickstarter page that his newly formed studio Robotoki would be the first developer to commit to creating a game exclusively for the Ouya. The game will be an episodic prequel to Robotoki's Human Element, a post-zombie-apocalyptic game scheduled for release in 2015.
On July 31, 2012, Square Enix announced that Final Fantasy III would be made available as a launch title for Ouya.
