Less fragile than a larger console, purely by virtue of the cube-square law.

Exactly.
Specs have been known to a fair degree of certainty for a while, and there is nothing that could not easily fit in such a volume, with room to spare.

Need is relative.
Even with the existence of an emulator (which is unlikely to happen), you still don't duplicate the niche this console is meant to serve.

Average modern Android phone retails for much more than $100.

Guys, seriously, get over the hardware specs~
The ps3 has 256mb ram and yet it runs Skyrim and BF3 (though not the same as the pc I know)
Code for dedicated hardware provides INCREDIBLE gains.
You can't compare a console's hardware to a phone or a pc, it just doesn't work that way)

A direct comparison won't always work, especially for the more optimized titles that show up late in a console's life, but one look at the specs of an Ouya should tell anyone that it wouldn't be capable of running something like Skyrim, not if you want it to look like Skyrim.
That said, I do think there is a lot of potential here, and that the hardware won't be as large a limitation as many think.

I don't think everyone interested in the console is interested in it because it's feng shui is complimentary to their Companion Cube furniture.
Open source potential, low price, sticking it to the man, and practical casual gaming utility...at least as important as "class and sophistication".
