What If Mario Jumped To The iPhone?

parislemon:

If Nintendo were to do this, their hardware business would effectively be done.

BUT, the software sales would be beyond massive. How many copies of Mario and Zelda would Nintendo sell on the iPhone? What about the iPad? What about Apple TV?

Nintendo is in the unique position where they could certainly have leverage to strike a special deal with Apple here. The end result could be game-changing.

1 Up.

Interesting idea. Reblogging for my more knowledgable video game friends to comment (Hey, Chris!)
Sega is a company that comes to mind that abandoned hardware for pure software and they seem awfully irrelevant now. But then again, they were mostly irrelevant at the time they switched.
