Nintendo denies that it may use Android for its next console
"Well that didn’t take long, Nintendo has now denied reports suggesting that the company is currently considering using the Android operating system for its next console, known as the Nintendo NX. The rumors were a bit shaky from the start as Nintendo has been notorious for using proprietary technology that doesn’t necessarily play well with other systems in the past.
In a statement sent to The Wall Street Journal, a spokesperson for Nintendo said that “there is no truth to the report saying that we are planning to adopt Android for NX”. A Japanese newspaper, Nikkei, was the first to break the news this week but it appears to have led nowhere so far.
It seems that Nintendo has learned to stamp out these rumors quickly. Earlier this year, reports began circulating suggesting that Nintendo and Netflix were collaborating on a live action TV series based on The Legend of Zelda. It took Nintendo quite a while to comment back then, which fueled speculation. This time around, it seems that Nintendo is looking to act fast when it comes to rumors.
Nintendo may still have considered using Android very briefly while in talks to begin making games for smartphones. Either way, it seems that we can expect another Nintendo-style OS on its next console. Although it will need to make some changes if it wants to win developers over with its next major hardware release. " - kitguru
a shame.... I think a android Nintendo consol would have been good.

nintendo is going to denie any rumor that comes up, mainly due to the fact that they love to "surprise people", just like they did with the 3DS XL. This could be true, this could also not be true, we just have to wait and see
damn beaten
