Earlier in the week there were reports that Nintendo is working on a new games console that will run Google’s Android platform. It all seemed a bit too convenient for us, especially as Nintendo is a company known for working alone. And so it proved as the company (through a spokesperson) told the Wall Street Journal that “there is no truth to those reports”.
Sure, a tech company saying one thing and doing the exact opposite is not unheard of, but we really can’t see Nintendo going to Android, at least not for the main software of its console. As for the codenamed Nintendo NX, it needs to be a big hit for the company after the Wii U failed to make a significant impact. Following the mammoth success of the Wii, the U has struggled and resulted in Nintendo losing money.
