Nintendo will not give up control of their distribution to a company that takes a 30% cut of software licenses. The expectations of people who play Switch games and people who play mobile games are also vastly different. You can see this by looking at the types of games Nintendo publishes on the respective platforms. Their mobile games are free to play, chock-full of mobile game style in-app purchase garbage, whereas their console games are much more traditional premium titles with an up-front purchase price. These are 2 different markets with different audiences.
They also typically don’t sell their consoles at a loss, unlike the other manufacturers and stated they wouldn’t sell the Switch at a loss.[1]
