Eurogamer: Nintendo NX is a portable console with detachable controllers (It also connects to your TV, and runs cartridges)

$300 isn't expensive if its a functional Android tablet too. Nintendo could fork the Android OS and make money off Android apps ... I think that's actually a huge part of the appeal to this concept to them.

$300 - iPad Mini, plays just iOS software only functionally as a tablet

$300 - Nintendo NX, plays Android games/apps, but also Nintendo games, VC, can double as a home console, has motion controllers.

Lots of parents may opt for the latter for their kids.

small problem though... according to Eurogamer there is no Android OS in the console but a Nintendo custom OS

I think Nikkei is correct on this one though. "Custom Nintendo OS" could still encompass a forked version of Android, Amazon already does this for their Kindle tablets and phone. 

Nikkei has been correct multiple times in the past (Nintendo making a 3DS XL, Nintendo making smartphone games, Nintendo funding a Seaman game ... that was true, the series creator confirmed this at Mr. Iwata's funeral, the game was never released).
