I don't think pushing mobile will reap "Nintendo-like" profits since that sector is known for being low margin ...

It's either release a new platform or go bust ...

Not every developer has low profit margins on mobile... Square Enix offers most of their game apps for $5 to $20 and many people accept these prices, even if they are much higher than the mobile average: http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/iPad/Square+Enix+financial+news/news.asp?c=65323

Telltale Games' prices for episodes and season passes are the same on mobile as on PC and consoles. Many people accept these prices, even if they are much higher than the mobile average.

Nintendo as renowned developer will probably also use the premium pricing model for their apps and many people will accept that because they trust in the Nintendo software quality.
