Nintendo thinks outside the box

Nintendo has opened up pandora's box, and possibly the only way forward for the company. It has decided to open up first party games to third party platforms like smart phones. Details in the article below but basically I see this being the smartest option for them from a business standpoint. The downsides are they don't control the hardware but the upside is the potential sales and audience and barrier to entry are all improved more than tenfold.
