Nintendo warned them this would happen.

The thing is its not like Apple really gives that big of a crap. Selling video games is not their 1st (or even 5th) line of business. It's a nice to have for them, the proverbial cherry on a cake. I'm sure they'd like to have people pay more for apps, but it's not something that keeps them awake at night. 

The damage its doing to Nintendo is much more severe as its effectively alienated Nintendo from casuals and a lot of kids too. 

I fly a lot for work and pretty much every airport I'm sitting in, I see families with kids that are playing on an iPad/tablet/mom's iPhone outnumbering the 3DS/DS/PSP/Vita by like a 10:1 ratio. It's not even close anymore. 

 

While this is naturally true, Nintendo still has a much bigger turnover than any publisher for iOS.

The issue is not as much Apple's business viability, but the viability of the various pocket farming schemes that app developers employ.
