Wii U App Store: How Nintendo will take Apple on at their own game

[JEMC]

I don't see it as a bad move for Nintendo.

They already have the hardware, and the app store has proven to be a very good way to bring software to the customers, so why not use it?

Besides, if Nintendo does it, it's not for the smartphones market but the tablets one. Let's face it, most tablets are used at home as they are too bulky to take them out with you, and the main uses are surfing the web/check the mail, play games and e-books. If Nintendo can bring it to them, you end with potential customers finding themselves choosing between a tablet or a home console that can also do what a tablet does, albeit only at home. And on top of that, the console may even be cheaper.
