Or they can go third party and sell millions across PS360/PS4/X1/PC/iOS/Android

 

I think iOS/Android are grossly overrated as profit cows. The average game Nintendo sells on their console today probably brings them $30 in profit per copy. Lets say a game like Mario 3D World sells 6 million copies.

That's $180 million in "profit" minus lets say $15 million for development cost and another $20 million on marketing. Still $145 million.

They'd have to sell over 150 million downloads at $1 a pop to match this on iOS.

I'm not saying they should release a full Mario console game on iOS/Android but they should make games with small budgets for those platforms.
