- 100-150 million console users to sell their games to instead of 15 million.
- 100-150 million console users to sell Amiibos to ... instead of 15 million
- Added developer support for their handheld, probable chain reaction of other Sony-centic third parties throwing more support behind HDS/Fusion.
- Solid tech partner to experiment in with a gaming phone or VR if they feel like it.
- Marketing support (look at how much Sony supported Destiny).
- Unified Japanese market = stronger Japanese market. This is good for Nintendo.
I would say this would double the sales of a game like Zelda and increase the reach of their amiibo toy sales hugely as well and put Nintendo in a much stronger position to counter the negative impact of smartphones/tablets (which are the real enemy IMO, Sony is not and hasn't been for a while).
