The Ouya will only be available in a couple of months. Now think, how much progress is made every month? By the time the Ouya will be available, there will be something better in the make that will release in a few months from then. And so the circle continues... The A10 is available now at a cheaper price than the Ouya will be in a couple of months.
And by "doing more" I meant they have replied to the request from the XBMC community to have a new look into their libraries and work togheter with the XBMC team. Maybe this co-operation hasn't been very intensive, but they did something.
If they succeed in helping to bring XBMC to the A10 they will realise that working in the same direction for their upcomming models pays off. And who knows, maybe a new model will be released in the same time as the Ouya, with comparable hardware for a better price and with native XBMC "support".
Don't get me wrong, I love the Ouya, great idea, great people behind it, i'm a backer. But it's not the holy grail. And nobody knows what the future will bring when it releases.

Tegra 1/2 doesn't support NEON instructions for the ARM processor, but Tegra 3 does, so Tegra 3 should be all good for running XBMC.

over simplification of NEON. for example, an h264 decoder written in NEON is very non-trivial. If you start now, then maybe in a year it might be done.
