That they made the system hackable and open, however, means there's the possibility that the Ouya can use a smartphone or tablet as a controller in a similar fashion to the Wii U.

I think that the creativity from the side projects that come out of Ouya have more potential to be disruptive than the console itself.

Why not play the game on the smartphone/tablet then?

And you could get the same deal with XLIG and Smartglass

Having hooked my iPad up to the tv so my boy and I can use our iDevices to play Fifa Soccer, I can attest that the differences between playing on the tv and playing on device are significant.
