1) Android Base - Yes, nothing in that video defined the OS as Android based. However, I think it is obvious at this point. WiiU and 3DS utilized Android OS software. Not to the point that they would run Android apps, but WiiU did run a version of Google maps and the apps it did utilize Android core packages. I think Nintendo will take this a step further to realize what I said they should do back in 2012. Use Android OS (slightly modified) such that they can use Android apps and greatly increase the flexibility of the core system's components. With this being a hybrid device with a touchscreen built on mobile based hardware, this will clearly setup the NX with the best set of apps, browser and hopefully an instant collection of thousands of mobile games.

But what if this is both going forward for Nintendo?? If you don't want to use the portability you could just always leave it connected to the TV. Or would you rather just never play Nintendo games again??

This is the point where ktay and I have to ask: Are you a traitor?

Is Amazon's core business about selling their own video games? But the other flaw is that you highlight a 30% cut as something desirable when Nintendo's cut on their own software is much higher on top of generating much higher revenue with each purchase. Nevermind that Nintendo already gets a 30% cut from all the third party games that are sold on the eShop which, again, generate higher revenue with each transaction.

Regardless of what kind of suggestions you make, you always have to keep in mind what Nintendo's core business is and what their business motivations are. Having Android on their own platform does not align with Nintendo's goals. Even the Eurogamer rumor that you take as gospel as basis for this thread rules out Android on NX.

As for the question, no. Not Day 1. I knew the Wii U was a mess, so I didn't get it at launch either. Got it less than three months later at a discounted price. This rumored NX looks like a mess too, so I would handle it the same way.
