The former improves Nintendo's image with selected third party companies while the latter improves Nintendo's ability to sustain their video game systems on their own, if worse comes to worst. |
True, but that doesn't seem to be what they're attempting, at least not at the moment. Creating new studios takes time, after all, and the ideal point to get started would have been when they were preparing to launch their new systems. Judging from their financial reports, they HAVE acquired new offices, but those mostly seem to be so they can consolidate their current workforce, not expand it.
