Normally with patent cases they get damages AND unit royalties. Or else Nintendo is free to carry on infringing forever.
The patent system is stupidly vague though. Look at the patent:

Most of it isn't relevant to Nintendo (pick-up system?) and the part that is could describe any system with 2 cameras producing a 3D image, really. There WILL be invalidating prior art; this guy didn't invent autostereoscopic 3D.
Juries need to get the hell away from judging these cases. It should be technical and patent experts.
