Nothing.  it's possibly Nintendo's understanding of Android.  I'm not gonna buy an NX to play Android games, that's what my phone is for.  Same reason why no one buys Blackberry products, even if it can play Android apps.  If this is true, Nintendo is misreading the market again.
The rumor isn't that the NX is an android console like Ouya, but that it can play Android games in a similar fashion to its virtual console. Android would simply be a way to play Nintendo mobile games on the NX, while the NX still has native games as well. Plus then Nintendo's next DS could be Android based, and then all those games would work on NX as well.
