| RolStoppable said: Indeed. Most people don't grasp Nintendo's strategy. They think that Nintendo will make smartphone games to make some good money on the side, but the main purpose is to tie people into the Nintendo ecosystem and sell more dedicated gaming hardware and software. Exposure to Nintendo IPs, advertisements for Nintendo products, and reward points that can be redeemed on Nintendo systems. Making money from smartphone games is only a secondary concern. |
I mostly agree. I do think, however, that Nintendo does intend to make mobile a significant pillar of profit. I don't, however, think they will ever priotitize profit over accessability in that space. The primary goal for mobile, as you say, it to tie in, and more specifically expose, people to the Nintendo ecosystem. It's a very big secondary consern is what I mean.
