Doing both would be bad. The smartphone market is all about rock bottom pricing and the absolute most they could maybe get away with charging is $15, more likely $10. This would start eroding the value of the software, which Nintendo has fought hard to keep high. The erosion of value would do harm to their home console side and handheld side and those brands would begin to be perceived as not being worth the larger investment.

so true. I was looking at my collection of software on my playstations and no matter what the title is, the value of sony software vs nintendo is not even close, and the fact that most of the sony titles are in bargin $20 bins and free plus games is enough to validate the value scale.
