Nintendo doesn't really need the cash to be honest, though I think in the future they will just cut Niantic out of the picture and self publish the game themselves. They hold the trademark for Pokemon too.
The big cash in for Nintendo on this is likely from the rise of their stock ... Nintendo and Nintendo employees own a huge chunk of Nintendo stock, so as that rises, Nintendo is basically making a ton of money.
