Is Nintendo thinking outside the box again?

Guy - "Nintendo's fans will decide your fate."

Namco - "I am Nintendo!"

Guy - "Not yet!"

Namco - "It's treason then"

Or something like that

I'm not sure if I can say I understand what you're trying to say.

I see it like this:

 

random guy on the internet: "The sales or your game is in hands of Nintendo fans"

Namco or another Co. that makes a game based on a Nintendo IP: "My game is based on a Nintendo IP, so it will sell like a Nintendo game (i.e: 5-10 millions)"

random guy on the internet: "Not necessarily. The IP is from Nintendo but you are not Nintendo. Your game still needs to be as good as if it was developed by Nintendo"

Namco or another Co ...: "But, but.. it's a Nintendo IP on a Nintendo console. It should sell like hotcakes! If not, we will never develop for you again!"

 

Or maybe he is saying something completely different.
