Because Android is a terrible OS for gaming, and that it's made by Nintendo and they'd never use third party OSes

OTOH the guy can't really be blamed, they have to go after the store that released early units.
I guess it'd be fun to look at if it did indeed ship to you early. But without it also shipping with a game, its no better than a paper weight until March 3rd, which would be torture to me.
If he does work at a retail store, I'd imagine he'll get a game eventually...

Bricks... the foundation of hacking!
Probably how a Wii U version of BOTW will get leaked... anonymous guy gets it early, and dumps it. I'd doubt Nintendo will be stupid enough to do what they did with Color Splash.
Hax when?

Especially with the Wii U cracked wide open...
Looking forward to buy this in Portugal. We are flying to Portugal this September to see families and friends before bring it to the USA. 
But its not like he stole it. He bought it just that the store shipped it early. Its not his fault. That would be a dick move by Nintendo

He's not wrong. Shield TV would be able to run a lot more games natively if it didn't have Android holding it back.
I've never been impressed with gaming on Android (or ios for that matter). I mean it gets the job done for mobile games, but every more intensive game on Android I've seen never looks or plays nearly as good as the same game's PC or Console counterparts.
A dick move was banning anyone that went online with SuMo before launch...
This included people that got their legit, retail copy early...
well thats a tough comparison buddy, that's why gaming consoles exists and people still build gaming PC's because you dont get the same quality/feeling on a mobile device.
Well even when Android is used on non-mobile devices like the Ouya complete with a traditional controller; it is still far from impressive. Point is, Android is a great OS for our smartphones, but it is not the most ideal OS for more intensive gaming.

i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt. -

Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore. -
