It's brilliant. Though this seems like a very "greedy corporation" move nowadays, this was the secret to Nintendo's success eay on. By keeping a tight control over the platform, it guaranteed high quality games and avoided the shoveware of Atari 2600. One could argue Apple emulated this same model 20 years later with the initial tight control over the App Store, to great effect.
