I think it is possible that Sony, and Nintendo will make a game console which uses the Android Operating System.
Android maybe a better choice for game console operating systems than a regular Linux or UNIX based operating system like Debian, Fedora, or FreeBSD because many Linux operating systems are mainly designed for servers like the web servers on web hosts like HostGator.
Android is also very active because Google, and other code contributors are very active at adding new codes and features to the Android Operating System.
But, there are Linux operating systems like Mandriva which are not active anymore because they can't get a huge user base like Android, or can't find enough staff or volunteers to add updates to their Linux OS.
Making a custom operating system from the beginning can cost a lot of money, and requires a lot of workers which Sony, and Nintendo may no longer have because they both had money problems in the pasts because of a lack of sales for some of their products like the Wii U, Vita, and Sony PCs.
