It seems factors like the smartphone gaming revolution, the rise of social games, and shrinking video game sales do have an impact on Nintendo's business strategy after all. Various Japanese media, i.e. the country's biggest business daily The Nikkei, are reporting today that Nintendo is planning to offer in-game virtual item sales for 3DS titles.The background here is that Nintendo's sales from its "digital" business (downloads of classic games, for example) currently account for under 5% of the total. This number is much higher for other "traditional" video game makers: Konami, for example, is now making more money with social games (which are very popular in Japan) than with packaged software.
