OUYA was mismanaged from the outset. Here's a great video that illustrates each mistake they made, point by point, as a supercut of other people's videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTqhyHuKVKA
Open consoles aren't doomed just because they're open. OUYA was just a super underpowered system bundled with a crappy homebrewed controller.
They could have made a tiny Android board bundled with a PS4 controller. They could've shipped it in a no-frills box. They could've used some of that Kickstarter money to start a development fund, to help kickstart games on their console.
Instead, you get a crappy controller in a fancy box, and there are basically no interesting games you can play with your new device.
