No grown adult would be happy with a Nintendo OS ... people rely on phones for their *life*, not just having some fun on the side. A phone OS has to work flawlessly, have incredibly wide breadth of functionality, function flawlessly in a business/college/work setting, be very fast, and offer hundreds of thousands of apps.

Nintendo? C'mon. Nintendo is a company of like 5000 people. Most of whom don't know the first thing about making an OS, they are game designers. EA has more employees. Apple has 100,000+ employees. Microsoft is 118,000. Nintendo is not going to make some type of OS superior to iOS/Android/Windows Phone .... that's never going to happen. Not to mention the cost investment needed, you can't just make an OS for a few million bucks, it would require the largest investment in Nintendo's history.

Last year, Nintendo invest 527millions dollars in search &Development... Largest investment in Nintendo's history ;) 

 

And remember this :

Nintendo need a OS,  need a unified plateform of Development... It's a fact. 

 it's the only way for staying on hardware business... Create OS,  working on ARM,  x86,  including vulkan API...  Be ready for futur... 

Nintendo have résiste Sony, Microsoft Last ten year with 5000 people...  I not sure they have problems to going front Apple or Google... The important is the concept,  remember Wii 100 millions with wiisport... 

I Agree with the other comment who stated that Adult people would not use Nintendo's OS, Iphone sell a lot because of Status and the same people who purchase it for Status would not purchase Nintendo OS because would seem childish to have a Gaming OS as main OS.

But i disagree with the part  he states that Nintendo cannot make a OS, Steam have 200 Employees and yet made Steam OS.
