You seem to believe that those are completely separate things, but they really aren't. Nintendo is in the much stronger position in this partnership because they provide the IPs that every mobile game maker would love to work with. Failure to fulfill Nintendo's goals can and will result in Nintendo looking for another partner, so it's in DeNA's own best interest that Nintendo's core business is as successful as possible, because that will extend and grow the partnership. |
Does Nintendo have anyway of measuring how much business in it's dedicated hardware field is directly generated by DeNA's mobile apps? I would think revenue and downloads of the apps would be how Nintendo measures the success of their partnership with DeNA. Of course it is in DeNA's interests for Nintendo to be succesful due to their partnership, however their priority is certainly the success of the apps they create themselves.
