I like the switch from what they have revealed so far. But I can't see myself buying it if it doesn't run Android apps. I can't justify carrying that fairly sizable tablet thingy around only to play Nintendo's new games when I already carry an Android tablet around that I need other things for it to do.
I think Switch would be a great success if it is an Android based tablet that also exclusively plays new gen Nintendo games. But conversely, I think it would do quite worse than the Wii U if it runs proprietary OS and can't function as Android tablet replacement.
[edit]Most, if not all Nintendo fans in NeoGAF will be buying the Switch anyways, as they did with the Wii U. But I'm talking about Switch aiming for bigger marketshare and success than the Wii U, which obviously is what Nintendo is aiming for. Don't you think Android app capability is important for mass market gains for that form factor?[/edit]
Chime in this thread with your opinions on whether Android app compatibility is crucial for Switch's success or not.
