If you do the math, you'll see that once you buy < $85 worth of content, OUYA will have paid out more than the $60 you gave them to developers. That's a really easy number to hit (especially since the promotion includes all one-time purchases). You could easily buy $500 worth of stuff and they'd lose like $300 bucks per person signed up. This promotion is good for consumers and developers, but it seems really, really dumb for OUYA themselves.
It isn't the final pricing. OUYA is basically paying developers for being in the test.
