Nintendo cares about installed base. The problem with Nintendo is that refuse to work with outside entities unless their vision is solely met. They will not create hardware with third party in mind. They expect third party to grovel and downport games to them. Nintendo wants 100% control when it comes to their product and anything on it. Hardware and format disagreements was one of the major reasons that lost them third party nearly twenty years ago. Once competition came around that was stronger than Sega Nintendo no longer had an overwhelming and unfair control over third party.
