Here's a crazy question for everyone: Should NX use some version of Windows 10 as its operating system?
The obvious knee-jerk response is no, of course not. However, there could be some great benefits to Nintendo making use of a Windows OS on their next platform, the biggest of which being the ease with which third-party developers could port games to the NX from PC and/or Xbox One.
There are some obvious concerns too: Would Microsoft license the OS to Nintendo at a reasonable rate? Would Nintendo/Microsoft be able to optimize the OS to meet the needs and/or architecture of the NX? Would Nintendo fans be put off by such a partnership? All of this is assuming Nintendo would even be willing to consider the idea themselves.
I know almost nothing about programing and less than nothing about business, but I think this idea has some great potential. Of course, I can't take any credit for it, since it wasn't my idea at all, and I probably haven't even done it justice.
