This news if true is great if you consider this:
This app was never made to make money. This is essentially MiiPlaza for mobile.
Miitomo was made as a social spot for games of Nintendo titles to find out what the people on their friends list are playing/doing and to be the mobile conduit to My Nintendo. Other developers have their own but I don't think any of them has ever made on the charts. (For example Hive, it is a way to get friends right away on new games.) And like MiiPlaza has a few thing that you can purchase in app.
Once their actual mobile games do come out the social network for their games are in place. Most mobile developers retro fit the networks into their games after releasing the game. Also they are laying the ground work of connecting Nintendo platform games to the mobile space. (Can be worded better but I'm tired currently.)
