Can you please provide the summary.

Basically a 'source' has said that the NX will run Android, as a means to allow for many developers to develop for the hardware.

 

Ie. its a a rumour, not confirmed info.

As far as I can understand this rumor, I don't see how this can help Nintendo solve 3rd party problem.

They are basically trading console games for mobile phone f2p showelware. And why would then someone choose to buy NX instead of a tablet is a mystery to me?

Ouya failed at $99, I don't see this strategy succeeding.

(Of course, maybe I'm missing a bigger picture. Data is very incomplete at this point)

For their handheld? I don't see getting third party on their handheld as much of a problem.....
