I don't have any stock on Nintendo, why would this news make me happy?

If I had to express my feelings for this news it would be something like: "Ok, cool"

Well if you care about the companies health, you would see that this would keep the company alive, which is really needed. I am enjoying the Wii U and 3DS, but really the companies survival will always be on the back of my mind. This move allows them more wiggle room. 

obviously some would be adverse to an idea like this because they are already very much 'alive'. they are dominant in the handheld department, and despite some people implying that Nintendo is massively declined in that department, a 5 year old handheld system of theirs is still competing sales wise with even the best main console seller

sure the Wii U has been a hiccup, but we all know Nintendo does not lose THAT much money on its Wii U division, they are a rather careful company in terms of investments; i.e. why you would see a huge price drop on the Wii U nor will you see them heavily stocked

 

I think the mobile venture could be good for the company but only if handled correctly. simply porting and allowing some of their titles (new and old) to be played on mobiles might be a terrible idea because a lot of the casuals just need their 'memory fix of Nintendo' and won't invest in the more expensive hardware if they have access on their little phone

however- if Nintendo essentially merges a mobile phone and handheld concept that could work fantastically. or at the very least only allow the downloading of their games on a certain device. there has to be some control otherwise it does not help them in the future but actually hinders them
