Could be very smart.

A Nintendo Android tablet won't beat the iPad ... but it could beat out a lot of Android tablets, because if you're going to drop $250-$300+ on a tablet, why not get the one that also plays regular Nintendo games too.

It could also justify a higher price point on a handheld ... no one's paying $250 for a 3DS, OK, but that was because it was just a "game handheld" (read: a toy). If it has Android OS and more important all the Android apps ... that would be a value proposition that would be a game changer. That would be a device you could use for a lot more than just playing Mario. 

Still we don't know enough to really make concrete conclusions here. Nikkei is usually right, but they could be misinformed.

 

Who said it will be tablet. It can be home console. They can put security to make is anti modding. Have you seen nvidia shield? It runs games like Crysis and borderlands in real time.
