I'm going to take the stance and say that this could be great. I think that they will have to use Google Play, right? If that is true, then many games could not be given instant visibility in the living room and some of these games could really do well with traditional controller input. I'm cautiously optimistic.

Nope. Android Devices don't have to use the Google Play Store.

I expect this to be a forked version of Android like Amazon's Fire OS. That has it's own Nintendo store.

Still not wasting a single penny on any of their consoles.

Wasted my money of the Wii U because of bought into their BS that they were supporting the "hardcore" and will have 3rd party support and that they'll have good online. What a lie that was. The Wii U collected dusts, same with the Wii when my family bought it.

The Wii U produced some of the best games this "gen" has to offer bar none.
